FCPD Equipment Needs: OCN Semi-Automatic Rifles, Crime Analysts Program Upgrade, WMD Portable Devises

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states and units of local government, including tribes, to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own state and local needs and conditions. Grant funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice, including for any one or more of the following purpose areas: 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; and 7) crime victim and witness programs (other than compensation).
Fairfax County will support the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) to purchase semi-automatic rifles for the Organized Crime and Narcotics Division (OCN), software and equipment for the Crime Analysis CompStat program, and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) detection equipment for the counter-terrorism program.
