The U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), is the agency charged by Congress with administering the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program (42 U.S.C. 3751(a)) and is the primary provider of federal criminal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions. The JAG Program provides states, tribes, and local governments with critical funding necessary to support a range of program areas including law enforcement, prosecution and courts, crime prevention and education, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment and enforcement, planning, evaluation, technology improvement, and crime victim and witness initiatives.

Funding for this solicitation is comprised of funding allocations for both Clark County and City of Las Vegas. Clark County serves as the fiscal agent and lead agency for the JAG allocation, of approximately $900,000 for FY25 in JAG funds to support the overall goals of reducing crime and improving public safety.
