The county of Merced will use its Fiscal Year 2008 JAG award in the amount of $17,011 to purchase equipment and supplies for the Merced County Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's Department acts as the Coroner on all suspicious deaths, and part of the JAG award will be used to augment, supplement, and increase the level of necessary forensic and evidence collection supplies.
