OCJA’s mission is to
assist stakeholders with funding to facilitate criminal justice solutions
designed to reduce drug and violent crime for safer Nevada communities. With
the FY21 JAG funding OCJA intends to provide JAG grant resources to projects
with a high probability of improving the performance of the criminal justice
system and increase Nevada’s capacity to prevent and reduce violent crime,
illegal drug sales and distribution, gang activity and human trafficking.
Projects funded with the JAG program will enhance the rule of law by strengthening
court programs, prosecution, defense, reentry programs, and system improvements
for criminal justice with technology across the state. OCJA proposes to use JAG
grant funds for those projects that address issues most critical to Nevada’s
criminal justice system.
OCJA
staff encourages all grant applicants to please visit the www.crimesolutions.gov website for evidence-based programs. Applicants
who plan to adhere to an evidence-based program will receive higher
consideration during the grant application review process. Contact any OCJA
