Established to streamline justice funding and grant administration, the JAG Program supports a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on local needs and conditions. JAG blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Programs to provide agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are needed most. Purpose Areas: JAG funds may be used for local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice, as well as criminal justice-related research and evaluation activities that will improve or enhance: (1) law enforcement programs; (2) prosecution and court programs; (3) prevention and education programs; (4) corrections and community corrections programs; (5) drug treatment and enforcement programs; (6) planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs; (7) crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation). Priority is for evidence-based or evidence-generating practices. No JAG funds may be expended outside of the JAG purpose areas. Idaho continues to struggle to maintain rural ideals while addressing population booms in several regions around the state. Law enforcement agencies struggle to remain ahead of the ongoing changes in drug trafficking. Idaho has identified the following priorities: (1) Law Enforcement: to optimize law enforcement's capabilities to pursue violent and predatory criminals and to dismantle criminal drug networks; (2) Prevention and Intervention: to deter first-time drug use and reduce the progression from casual use to addiction; (3) Treatment: to provide drug, alcohol, and domestic violence treatment to those who come in contact with the criminal justice system; including correctional facilities; (4) Courts and Prosecution: to facilitate the improvement of judicial processes and systems which will provide for enhanced accountability to the public, responsiveness to the criminal justice system, prosecution of violent criminals, and assistance in the dismantling of criminal drug networks. Idaho supports alternative sentencing programs, such as drug courts for non-violent offenders; (5) Information Systems and Technological Improvements: to facilitate infrastructure changes and technological advances within the criminal justice system. Innovation remains a top priority.
