*Public Comment Opportunity*

We invite your input on the Byrne-Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) draft strategic plan

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) [ [link removed] ] is a primary source of federal funding to state and local jurisdictions supporting a range of criminal legal system improvement and community advancement programs. JAG funds are intended to assist states, tribes and local jurisdictions in leveraging additional dollars from other funding sources to support and maximize statewide efforts.

The U.S. Department of Justice requires states to prepare a comprehensive strategic plan to guide overall JAG program implementation. The plan spans five years and is updated every two years.

This strategic plan will cover 2023-2027. A subcommittee of JAG Advisory Committee members guided the development of the plan.

In upcoming years, Washington?s JAG funds will be directed to state and local government agencies, nonprofit organizations, Tribes, consultants and researchers to contribute to various programs and practices to support criminal legal system improvement and community safety.?
