Description
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, administered by the Kansas Governor’s Grants Program (KGGP) and overseen by the Kansas Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (KCJCC), provides funding to support a wide range of activities aimed at preventing and controlling crime across Kansas. Grants may be used for law enforcement, prosecution and courts (including indigent defense), prevention and education, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment and enforcement, planning and technology improvements, crime victim and witness support (excluding compensation), mental health initiatives, and crisis intervention court proceedings such as mental health, drug, and veterans’ courts. The program emphasizes data-driven, evidence-based approaches and is open to state and local governments, tribes, and eligible nonprofit and faith-based organizations.
