Resolution - Police:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute, for and on behalf of the City of Lubbock and the Lubbock Police Department, an interlocal agreement with Lubbock County, Texas, allocating and transferring 50% of the City’s Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) award under the FY2022 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Grant Program to Lubbock County, in order to fund the Lubbock County Joint Enforcement Initiative.
Item Summary
The United States Department of Justice for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant awarded $209,893 to the City of Lubbock and the Lubbock Police Department. This agreement allocates and transfers 50% of the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) award to Lubbock County. The City of Lubbock and Lubbock County are each eligible to receive funding and agree to share the grant equally, with each receiving $104,946.50. The Lubbock Police Department (LPD) will manage the grant.
If approved, the LPD will continue to outfit all patrol officers with electronic citation writers. This technology is quickly becoming industry standard and provides numerous benefits, including improved officer safety, higher productivity, reduced ticketing errors and automated data collection and processing.
Fiscal Impact
The City’s portion of the grant is $104,946.50 and does not require a local match.
