STEVE REAMS
TO: Weld County Board of County Commissioners
FROM : Capt. Alan Caldwell
DATE: 5/15/15
RE: 2015 JAG Grant anticipated expenditures
The Sheriff's Office was notified that it will be awarded $ 15,361.00 from the Edward Byrne Memorial
Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG). It's anticipated that such funds would be available to the
Sheriffs Office sometime in the fall of 2015 if the BOCC agrees to accept the grant and enters into the
MOU with the City of Greeley.
The Weld County Sheriff's Office would like to utilize the 2015 JAG funds to purchase traffic radars for
the patrol vehicles. Traffic safety is a public safety priority of the Sheriff's Office. At this time it's
expected that all funds would be spent on radars. The number of radar units to be purchased will be
determined in the future since it's dependent on the unit price. The Sheriffs Office intends to work
with Weld County Purchasing to determine the best pricing.
In the event that JAG funds remain available after purchasing the radars, the Sheriffs Office would
like to spend the remaining funds on equipment for the Patrol and/or Detention's division. Examples
of such equipment include TASERS, body armor, protective shields, restraint systems and surveillance
equipment. The Sheriffs Office is committed to informing the BOCC of how it intends to spend JAG
funds.
The Sheriff's Office appreciates the consideration the BOCC is giving this matter.
