The law enforcement agencies of Moline and Rock Island County are once again eligible to share funding through an Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) award. JAG funds support all components of the criminal justice system. The total fiscal year 2022 award is $17,917, and the individual allocations are $16,125.30 to Moline and $1,791.70 to Rock Island County. This is an annual grant award, and there are no matching funds required. The Moline Police Department plans to utilize its share to purchase equipment for their less lethal deployment project. The proposed Memorandum of Understanding among the two agencies will be on the Committee of the Whole agenda on July 26, 2022 and the Council agenda on July 26, 2022. If you would like to comment on Moline’s portion of the grant, please call 309-524-2230 or email soleary@moline.il.us.
