Criminal Justice Grant Program, FY2027

The Criminal Justice Grant Program (FY2027), funded through the federal Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program, supports projects aimed at promoting public safety, reducing crime, and improving the criminal justice system. Eligible applicants—including state agencies, local governments, non-profits, and independent school districts—can utilize funds for a wide range of activities across law enforcement, prosecution, crime prevention, corrections, and reentry. Specifically, the program highlights priority areas such as intelligence-based investigations, community policing, pre-trial diversion, and specialized officer training.
