New report details Edward Byrne Memorial JAG 2024 allocations

BJS has released Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, 2024. This report describes the steps used to calculate the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG formula-based award amounts and presents summary results of the fiscal year 2024 calculations. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 merged two grant programs to establish the JAG program. The Bureau of Justice Assistance administers the program, and BJS calculates the award amounts. The JAG program provides states, territories, tribes, and local governments with critical funding necessary to support a range of criminal justice areas. States and localities receive funds based on their resident population reported by the U.S. Census Bureau and on violent crime data reported to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program.
