Blunt Announces Over $760,000
in Local Law Enforcement Grants
JEFFERSON CITY December 5, 2006-Gov. Matt Blunt today
announced over $760,000 has been awarded to local law enforcement
agencies through the federal Local Law Enforcement Block Grant JAG
program (LLEBG/JAG).
“These funding opportunities boost local law enforcement
agencies with more resources and equipment to help keep their communities
safe,” Blunt said.
The Local Law Enforcement Block Grants were awarded
to 123 local law enforcement agencies for the purpose of reducing
crime and improving public safety. Missouri was able to secure $761,917.47
this year. Funds will be used to purchase officer safety equipment
such as radios, ballistic vests and items to assist the safe and secure
transport of prisoners.
The program is made available through the U.S. Department
of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and is administered
through the Missouri Department of Public Safety. Short-term contracts
are awarded in amounts up to $10,000 for purchase of equipment directly
related to basic law enforcement functions and officer safety. Agencies
are required to provide a 10 percent cash match of their total project
cost.
