Re: Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2013 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant(JAG) Program—JAG Countywide—State Solicitation
Dear Chairperson Hiller:
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement(FDLE) anticipates an award from the
United States Department of Justice for FFY 2013 JAG funds. FDLE will distribute these
funds in accordance with the JAG Countywide distribution provisions of Chapter 11 D-9,
Aloto
Florida Administrative Code.
FDLE has set aside $101,342 funds for use by all units of government within Collier
County. The enclosed Program Announcement provides an overview of these funds
which can be used by local units of government to support a broad range of activities to
prevent and control crime and to improve the criminal justice system. Please note that
the Program Announcement includes information from the U.S. Department of Justice
relating several areas of national focus and its priorities to help maximize the
effectiveness of the Byrne/JAG funding.
As a condition of participation in this program,the units of government in each county
must reach a consensus concerning the expenditure of these funds. This consensus
must include the projects to be implemented as well as the agency responsible for such
implementation.
Developing such consensus will require someone to exercise leadership and assume a
coordinating role in the development of applications for these funds. FDLE
recommends that the Board of County Commissioners assume this responsibility. In
the event the county declines to serve in this capacity, the Department will request the
governing body of each municipality in the county, in descending order of population, to
serve as the coordinating unit of government.

PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT
FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2013
Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant(JAG) Program
Countywide State Solicitation
The State of Florida, Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), anticipates an award
from the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) for$7,071,683 in Justice
Assistance Grant (JAG)funds. FDLE will distribute these funds in accordance with the
JAG Countywide distribution provisions of Chapter 11 D-9, Florida Administrative Code.
This announcement is to notify eligible applicants of program requirements. Please
note this Program Announcement includes information from the USDOJ relating several
areas of national focus and its priorities to help maximize the effectiveness of the
Byrne/JAG funding.
Eligible Applicants
Units of local government are eligible to receive subgrants from FDLE. "Units of local
government" means any city, county, town, township, borough, parish, village, or other
general-purpose political subdivision of a State and includes Native American Tribes
that perform law enforcement functions as determined by the Secretary of the Interior.
Program Strategy and Purposes
JAG blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
(LLEBG) Programs to provide agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and to support a
broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs
conditions. JAG funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical
assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and
information systems for criminal justice. Local units of government receiving JAG
funding have the flexibility to implement projects in any of the seven federally approved
purpose areas, listed below.
1) Law enforcement programs
2) Prosecution and court programs
3) Prevention and education programs
4) Corrections and community corrections programs
5) Drug treatment and enforcement programs
6) Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs
7) Crime victim and witness programs
Any law enforcement or justice initiative previously eligible for funding under Byrne or
LLEBG is eligible for JAG funding.
Coordination Efforts
Each county is allocated a sum of money for use by all local governments within the
county. This amount is determined through a funding algorithm established in the
administrative rule.
Page 1
Packet Page-1324-
7/9/2013 16.J.1 .
Chapter 11 D-9.005, Florida Administrative Code, requires that units of government in
each county reach consensus concerning the expenditure of these funds, including the
projects to be implemented and the agency responsible for such implementation.
Maximum coordination is required to meet this program requirement, and the
Department requests the county board of commissioners to serve as the coordinating
unit for all local governments within the county. The Chairman, Board of County
Commissioners, in each county so notified is requested to return to the Department a
statement of certification indicating the county's willingness to serve. This certification
must be returned within 30 days from the date of receipt of notification. In the event the
county declines to serve in this capacity, the Department will request the governing
body of each municipality in the county, in descending order of population, to serve as
the coordinating unit of government.
Each county or coordinating unit of government is encouraged to form a criminal justice
coordinating/planning group to identify and implement criminal justice priorities for the
county, to plan strategies to address those priorities, to identify areas of greatest need,
and to review all possible sources of revenue to make sure that funds go to the
programs or issues that need them most.
Furthermore, FDLE requires that units of government in each county reach consensus
concerning the expenditure of the JAG funds, including the projects to be implemented
and the agency responsible for such implementation. Each county must document this
consensus by submitting letters from at least 51 percent of the units of government
which also represent at least 51 percent of the population located in said county.
Match Requirements
There is no match requirement under the guidelines of the JAG program.
DOJ/Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Priorities
BJA wishes to ensure that recipients are aware of several areas of national focus and
priority and to encourage recipients to maximize the effective use of JAG funds. The
following is a brief list of key priorities:
1) Reducing Gun Violence
2) Recidivism Reduction and Justice System Realignment
3) Indigent Defense
4) Evidence-Based "Smart" Programs
