Sheriff's Office applies for FY25 SCAP formula grant; board approves application
Summary
Newton County Sheriff’s Office sought and received board approval to apply for the FY25 State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAP) formula grant; staff said there is no local match and award amounts are set by the Department of Justice based on inmate and officer counts.
Brandy Burch from the Sheriff’s Office asked the board to approve the county’s application for the fiscal‑year 2025 SCAP formula grant. She said the formula considers counts of undocumented criminal aliens, total jail inmates and correctional officers who worked during the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, and that the Department of Justice determines the award amount; no local match is required.
The board moved and approved the application with no further discussion recorded.
The Sheriff’s Office will submit the application as authorized by the board.
