The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is requesting
input from stakeholders and other interested parties as the
agency considers updates to spending priorities for the Edward
Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG).
The BSCC periodically assesses how grant funding should be
prioritized within the federal guidelines set by the Bureau of
Justice Assistance. A survey has been created to help
identify unmet and under-served needs within the eight Program
Purpose Areas established by the BJA.
The Program Purpose Areas are:
PPA 1 – Law enforcement programs
PPA 2 – Prosecution and court programs
PPA 3 – Prevention and education programs
PPA 4 – Corrections and community corrections programs
PPA 5 – Drug treatment and enforcement programs
PPA 6 – Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement
programs
PPA 7 – Crime victim and witness programs (other than
compensation)
PPA 8 – Mental health programs and related law enforcement
and corrections programs, including behavioral programs and
crisis intervention teams
The Board will consider the survey responses at its November 18,
2021 meeting for incorporation in the Request for Proposals for
the October 2022 through the September 2025 grant cycle. Survey
responses are due no later than 11:59 p.m.
on Monday, August 30, 2021. A link to the
survey is available here. Answers
to this survey are confidential and anonymous. No effort will be
made to identify any respondent.
If you are having difficulties with the survey or have any
questions, please email the BSCC at: JAG@bscc.ca.gov.
