Description
The Mississippi Division of Public Safety Planning administers this Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant opportunity through the Mississippi Department of Public Safety’s Office of Justice Programs. Supported by U.S. Department of Justice funding, the program helps certified Mississippi drug courts address their most pressing needs, particularly where loss of state funding threatens staffing or effective operation. Supporting materials also call the opportunity “JAG Drug Court Enforcement.”
Targeted support includes drug court personnel, training, operating expenses such as drug testing kits, and treatment. Applications must explain needs involving substance-abusing parents and children in the court system, parents at risk of losing custody because of addiction, and treatment and counseling for youth and family drug court participants. The program emphasizes coordinated treatment and justice-system responses, participant accountability, ongoing judicial involvement, and evaluation of drug court effectiveness.
