Justice Assistance Grant Program

The Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) enhances the quality of life in West Virginia through fostering a safe environment within our communities; helps ensure a swift, efficient and effective criminal justice system that is reflective of the priorities of the community; and expands public awareness of the government system and the public's rights and responsibilities within the criminal justice system.

The Division of Criminal Justice Services awards grant funds annually to qualified units of local and state government. These funds are intended to supplement state and local funds for the following priorities:

1. Substance Abuse
2. Domestic Violence
3. Sexual Offenses
4. Juvenile Issues
5. Crimes Against a Person - Emphasis on the Elderly

Grant funds may be used for personnel, equipment, training, technical assistance, and information systems.
