Evidence-Based Programs or Practices
OJP places a strong emphasis on the use of data and evidence in policy making and program
development in criminal justice. OJP is committed to;
• improving the quantity and quality of evidence OJP generates;
OMB No. 1121-0329
Approval Expires 02/28/2013
5
• integrating evidence into program, practice, and policy decisions within OJP and the
field; and
• improving the translation of evidence into practice.
OJP considers programs and practices to be evidence-based when their effectiveness has been
demonstrated by causal evidence, generally obtained through one or more outcome
evaluations. Causal evidence documents a relationship between an activity or intervention
(including technology) and its intended outcome, including measuring the direction and size of a
change, and the extent to which a change may be attributed to the activity or
intervention. Causal evidence depends on the use of scientific methods to rule out, to the extent
possible, alternative explanations for the documented change. The strength of causal evidence,
based on the factors described above, will influence the degree to which OJP considers a
program or practice to be evidence-based.
OJP's Crirr- hrtions.. web site is one resource that applicants may use to find information
about evidence-based programs in criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services.
Additionally, when considering evidence-based programs and practices specific to reentry, it is
recommended that jurisdictions review the WI V.' in Reentr r for important
research on the effectiveness of a wide variety of reentry programs and practices. The
Clearinghouse provides a one-stop shop for practitioners and service providers seeking

Formula: Once each fiscal year's overall JAG Program funding level is determined, BJA
partners with the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to begin a four-step grant award calculation
process which consists of:
1. Computing an initial JAG allocation for each state and territory, based on their share of
violent crime and population (weighted equally).
2. Reviewing the initial JAG allocation amount to determine if the state or territory allocation
is less than the minimum ("de minimus") award amount defined in the JAG legislation
(0.25 percent of the total). If this is the case, the state or territory is funded at the
minimum level, and the funds required for this are deducted from the overall pool of JAG
funds. Each of the remaining states receives the minimum award plus an additional
amount based on their share of violent crime and population.
3. Dividing each state's final award amount (except for the territories and District of
Columbia) between state and local governments at a rate of 60 and 40 percent,
respectively.
4. Determining local unit of government award allocations, which are based on their
proportion of the state's 3-year violent crime average. If a local eligible award amount is
less than $10,000, the funds are returned to the state to be awarded to these local units
of government through the state agency. If the eligible award amount is $10,000 or
more, then the local government is eligible to apply for a JAG award directly from BJA.
Administrative Funds: A unit of local government may use up to 10 percent of the award,
including interest, for costs associated with administering JAG funds.
Supplanting: Supplanting is prohibited under JAG. Applicants cannot replace or supplant non-
federal funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose. See the JAG FAQs on BJA's
JA 5 p ge for examples of supplanting.
Leveraging of Grant Funds: Although supplanting is prohibited, the leveraging of federal
funding is encouraged. For example, a city may utilize JAG and Homeland Security Grant
Program (HSGP) money to fund different portions of a fusion center project. In instances where
leveraging occurs, all federal grant funds must be tracked and reported on separately and may
not be used to fund the same line items. Additionally, federal funds cannot be used as match for
other federal awards.
Disparate Certification: A disparate allocation occurs when a city or municipality is allocated
one-and-one-half times (150 percent) more than the county, while the county bears more than
50 percent of the costs associated with prosecution or incarceration of the municipality's Part 1
violent crimes. A disparate allocation also occurs when multiple cities or municipalities are
collectively allocated four times (400 percent) more than the county, and the county bears more
than 50 percent of the collective costs associated with prosecution or incarceration of each
municipality's Part 1 violent crimes.
* Jurisdictions certified as disparate must identify a fiscal agent that will submit a joint
application for the aggregate eligible allocation to all disparate municipalities. The joint
application must determine and specify the award distribution to each unit of local
government and the purposes for which the funds will be used. When beginning the JAG
BJA-2013-3599 OMB No. 1121-0329
Approval Expires 0212812013
7
application process, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that identifies which
jurisdiction will serve as the applicant/fiscal agent for joint funds must be completed and
signed by the Authorized Representative for each participating jurisdiction. The signed
MOU should be attached to the application. For a sample MOU, go to
www.b'a ov/Fundin /JAGMOU. .df.
Trust Fund: Award recipients may draw down JAG funds in advance. To do so, a trust fund
must be established in which to deposit the funds. The trust fund may or may not be an interest-
bearing account. If subrecipients draw down JAG funds in advance, they also must establish a
trust fund in which to deposit funds. This trust fund requirement does not apply to direct JAG
award recipients or subrecipients that draw-down on a reimbursement basis rather than in
advance.
Limitation on Use of Award Funds for Employee Compensation; Waiver: With respect to
any award of more than $250,000 made under this solicitation, recipients may not use federal
funds to pay total cash compensation (salary plus cash bonuses) to any employee of the award
recipient at a rate that exceeds 110 percent of the maximum annual salary payable to a member
of the Federal Government's Senior Executive Service (SES) at an agency with a Certified SES
Performance Appraisal System for that year. The 2013 salary table for SES employees is
available at pm .sca/13tabi,,,:,:.--idc:(SES.asp. Note: A recipient may compensate an
employee at a greater rate, provided the amount in excess of this compensation limitation is
paid with non-federal funds. (Any such additional compensation will not be considered matching
funds where match requirements apply.)
The Assistant Attorney General (AAG) for OJP may exercise discretion to waive, on an
individual basis, the limitation on compensation rates allowable under an award. An applicant
requesting a waiver should include a detailed justification in the budget narrative of the
application. Unless the applicant submits a waiver request and justification with the application,
the applicant should anticipate that OJP will request the applicant to adjust and resubmit the
budget.
The justification should include the particular qualifications and expertise of the individual, the
uniqueness of the service the individual will provide, the individual's specific knowledge of the
program or project being undertaken with award funds, and a statement explaining that the
individual's salary is commensurate with the regular and customary rate for an individual with
his/her qualifications and expertise, and for the work to be done.
Minimization of Conference Costs: OJP encourages applicants to review the OJP guidance
on conference approval, planning, and reporting that is available on the OJP web site at
www cip.covifundir.- --rifcost.htm. This guidance sets out the current OJP policy, which
requires all funding recipients that propose to hold or sponsor conferences (including meetings,
trainings, and other similar events) to minimize costs, requires OJP review and prior written
approval of most conference costs for cooperative agreement recipients (and certain costs for
grant recipients), and generally prohibits the use of OJP funding to provide food and beverages
at conferences. The guidance also sets upper limits on many conference costs, including facility
space, audio/visual services, logistical planning services, programmatic planning services, and
food and beverages (in the rare cases where food and beverage costs are permitted at all).
Prior review and approval of conference costs can take time (see the guidance for specific
deadlines), and applicants should take this into account when submitting proposals. Applicants
BJA-2013-3599 OMB No. 1121-0329
Approval Expires 02/28/2013

also should understand that conference cost limits may change and that they should check the
guidance for updates before incurring such costs.
Note on food and beverages: OJP may make exceptions to the general prohibition on using
OJP funding for food and beverages, but will do so only in rare cases where food and
beverages are not otherwise available (e.g., in extremely remote areas); the size of the event
and capacity of nearby food and beverage vendors would make it impractical to not provide food
and beverages; or a special presentation at a conference requires a plenary address where
conference participants have no other time to obtain food and beverages. Any such exception
requires OJP's prior written approval. The restriction on food and beverages does not apply to
water provided at no cost, but does apply to any and all other refreshments, regardless of the
size or nature of the meeting. Additionally, this restriction does not affect direct payment of per
diem amounts to individuals in a travel status under your organization's travel policy.
Costs Associated with Language Assistance (if applicable): If an applicant proposes a
program or activity that would deliver services or benefits to individuals, the costs of taking
reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to those services or benefits for individuals with
limited English proficiency may be allowable. Reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to
services or benefits may include interpretation or translation services where appropriate.
For additional information, see the "Civil Rights Compliance" section of the OJP "Other
Requirements for OJP Applications" web page at
'Th r regui —ients.htm,
Match Requirement: While match is not required under the JAG Program, match is an effective
strategy to expand justice funds and build buy-in for local criminal justice initiatives. Matching
funds become part of the overall award amount, and as such are subject to audit and must be
expended or deobligated prior to closeout.
Other JAG Requirements
Body Armor Certification
• Ballistic-resistant and stab-resistant body armor can be funded through two BJA-
administered programs: the JAG Program and the Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP)
Program.
• The BVP Program is designed to provide a critical resource to state and local law
enforcement through the purchase of ballistic-resistant and stab-resistant body armor. A
jurisdiction is able to request up to 50 percent of the cost of a vest with BVP funds. For more
information on the BVP Program, including eligibility and application, refer to the BVP web
page.
• JAG funds may also be used to purchase vests for an agency, but they may not be used to
pay for that portion of the ballistic-resistant vest (50 percent) that is not covered by BVP
funds. Unlike BVP, JAG funds used to purchase vests do not require a 50 percent match.
• Vests purchased with JAG funds may be purchased at any threat level, make, or model from
any distributor or manufacturer, as long as the vests have been tested and found to comply
with the latest applicable National Institute of Justice ballistic or stab standards. In addition,
vests purchased must be American-made. Information on the latest National Institute of

Ctt
initiativ.
• As is the case in BVP, grantees who wish to purchase vests with JAG funds must certify that
law enforcement agencies receiving vests have a written i'mandatory wear" policy in effect.
FAQs related to the mandatory wear policy and certifications can be found at
VOW) Dia ne'll Q YJAGF. This policy must be in place for at least all uniformed
officers before any FY 2013 funding can be used by the agency for vests. There are no
requirements regarding the nature of the policy other than it being a mandatory wear policy
for all uniformed officers while on duty. The certification must be signed by the certifying
official and must be attached to the application. If the grantee proposes to change project
activities to utilize JAG funds to purchase bulletproof vests after the application period
(during the project period), then the grantee must submit the signed certification to BJA at
that time. A mandatory wear concept and issues paper and a model policy are available by
contacting the BVP Customer Support Center 3/usdi ov or toll free at 1-877-758—
3787.
• A copy of the certification related to the mandatory wear can be found at:
vvww.bbAgy/Fundinsi/13JAGBVPCert t.
Interoperable Communications
• Grantees (including subgrantees) that are using FY 2013 JAG Program funds to support
emergency communications activities (including the purchase of interoperable
communications equipment and technologies such as voice-over-internet protocol bridging
or gateway devices, or equipment to support the build out of wireless broadband networks in
the 700 MHz public safety band under the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Waiver Order) must ensure:
Compliance with the FY 2013 SAFEC:-.)1W Guidance for Emergency Communication
Grants (including provisions on technical standards that ensure and enhance
interoperable communications).
Adherence to the technical standards set forth in the FCC Waiver Order, or any
succeeding FCC orders, rules, or regulations pertaining to broadband operations in the
700 MHz public safety band.
▪ Projects support the Statewide Communication lnteroperability Plan (SCIP) and are fully
coordinated with the full-time Statewide I nteroperability Coordinator (SWIC) in the state
of the project. As the central coordination point for their state's interoperability effort, the
SWIC plays a critical role, and can serve as a valuable resource. SWICs are
responsible for the implementation of the SCIP through coordination and collaboration
with the emergency response community. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Office of Emergency Communications maintains a list of SVVICs for each of the 56
states and territories. Contact OECffhq.dhs.qov.
All communications equipment purchased with grant award funding (plus the quantity
purchased of each item) is identified during quarterly performance metrics reporting.
DNA Testing of Evidentiary Materials and Upload of DNA Profiles to a Database
If JAG program funds will be used for DNA testing of evidentiary materials, any resulting eligible
DNA profiles must be uploaded to the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS, the national DNA
BA-2013-3599 OMB No. 1121-0329
Approval Exptres 02/28/2013
10
database operated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)), by a government DNA lab with
access to CODIS. No profiles generated with JAG funding may be entered into any other non-
governmental DNA database without prior express written approval from BJA. For more
information, refer to the NIJ FY 2013 DNA Backlog Reduction Program, available at
www,nc r ov/ dffilesl/nr/s1001062 df. In addition, funds may not be used for purchase of
DNA equipment and supplies when the resulting DNA profiles from such technology are not
accepted for entry into CODIS.
Reporting Requirements, Performance Measures, and JAG Showcase
Submission of performance measures data is not required for the application. Instead,
applicants should discuss in their application their proposed methods for collecting data for
performance measures. Refer to the section "What an Application Should Include" on page 15
for additional information.
Award recipients will be required to submit quarterly financial status (SF-425) and annual
programmatic reports through GMS, quarterly performance metrics reports (see Performance
Measures section below) through BJA's Performance Measurement Tool (PrviT), and Federal
Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reports through the FFATA Sub-award
Reporting System (FSRS) as necessary (see FFATA section below).
Performance Measures
To assist in fulfilling the Department's responsibilities under the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), P.L. 103-62, and the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010, Public Law
111-352, applicants who receive funding under this solicitation must provide data that
measures the results of their work done under this solicitation, Quarterly performance metrics
reports must be submitted through BJA's Performance Measurement Tool (PMT) web
site, available at -7ww.biaperformanceto The performance measures can be found
at: www.biaper xt he 4.. easures0 ,HrImaire.pdf.
Note on Project Evaluations
Applicants that propose to use funds awarded through this solicitation to conduct project
evaluations should be aware that certain project evaluations (such as systematic investigations
designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge) may constitute "research" for
purposes of applicable DOJ human subjects protection regulations. However, project
evaluations that are intended only to generate internal improvements to a program or service, or
are conducted only to meet OJP's performance measure data reporting requirements likely do
not constitute "research." Applicants should provide sufficient information for OJP to determine
whether the particular project they propose would either intentionally or unintentionally collect
and/or use information in such a way that it meets the DOJ regulatory definition of research.
Research, for the purposes of human subjects protections for OJP-funded programs, is defined
as, "a systematic investigation, including research development, testing, and evaluation,
designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge" 28 C.F.R. § 46.102(d). For
additional information on determining whether a proposed activity would constitute research,
see the decision tree to assist applicants on the "Research and the Protection of Human
Subjects" section of the OJP "Other Requirements for OJP Applications" Web page
(www.ojp.usdoj.gov/fundinq/other requi ements.htm). Applicants whose proposals may involve

a research or statistical component also should review the "Confidentiality" section on that Web
page.
Notice of Post-Award FFATA Reporting Requirement
Applicants should anticipate that OJP will require all recipients (other than individuals) of awards
of $25,000 or more under this solicitation, consistent with the Federal Funding Accountability
and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA), to report award information on any first-tier subawards
totaling $25,000 or more, and, in certain cases, to report information on the names and total
compensation of the five most highly compensated executives of the recipient and first-tier
subrecipients. Each applicant entity must ensure that it has the necessary processes and
systems in place to comply with the reporting requirements should it receive funding. Reports
regarding subawards will be made through the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS),
found at www,fsrsirv.
Note also that applicants should anticipate that no subaward of an award made under this
solicitation may be made to a subrecipient (other than an individual) unless the potential
subrecipient acquires and provides a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number.
JAG Showcase
This JAG Showcase was designed to identify and highlight JAG projects that have
demonstrated success or have shown promise in reducing crime, positively impacting
communities, etc. Because the JAG program provides state, tribal, and local jurisdictions with
flexibility to tailor the programs to fit their needs, a wide variety of programs have been funded
across the country. Each year, new methods to reduce and prevent crime, violence, and drug
abuse; and, to improve the functioning of the criminal justice system are being discovered. BJA
strives to increase awareness of JAG funds invested in innovation, evidence-based programs
and program evaluations. This page is intended to serve as a resource for criminal justice
professionals in the field who seek to stay informed of some the most interesting, innovative,
results oriented projects that have been funded with JAG money in the last several years.
JAG success stories success stories should include the: name and location of program/project;
point of contact with phone and e-mail; amount of JAG funding received and in which fiscal
year; and a brief summary describing the program/project and its impact. BJA strongly
encourages and appreciates annual (or more frequent) submissions at
:1AG weasegojp.u.Aci v or via the cr ,
Priorities
BJA recognizes that the downturn in the economy has resulted in significant pressures on state
and local criminal justice systems. In these challenging times, shared priorities and leveraged
resources can make a significant impact. In light of this, it is important to make SAAs and local
JAG recipients aware of several areas of priority that may be of help in maximizing the
effectiveness of JAG funding at the state and local level.
In addition to our longstanding and unwavering commitment to keeping violent crime at its
lowest level in decades, the following priorities represent key areas where BJA will be focusing
nationally and invite each state and local JAG recipient to join us in addressing these challenges
as a part of our JAG partnership.

Reducing Gun Violence
In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy and mass shootings in Aurora,
Oak Creek, and Tucson, BJA encourages states and localities to invest valuable JAG funds in
programs to reduce gun violence, enforce existing firearms laws, and enhance reporting to the
FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Other important priorities include
strengthening school safety, improving criminal justice/mental health collaborations, and
supporting joint first responder critical incident training.
Recidivism Reduction and Justice System Realignment
In this time of fiscal austerity and smaller state and local budgets, reducing unnecessary
incarceration in a manner that promotes public safety is a paramount goal. Effective community
supervision coupled with evidence-based program interventions can result in significant
reductions in recidivism. A priority funding area is the implementation of effective pretrial
services programs and innovative programs and approaches in probation and parole
supervision that improve services to offenders and increase collaborative efforts among
community supervision agencies with law enforcement and the courts. Currently 17 states and
local governments are working to control spiraling incarceration costs through justice system
reforms and realignment under the Justice Reinvestment Initiative ORD. Strategic investment of
JAG funds to implement JRI legislation and policy changes in those states and localities can
augment federal funds and achieve greater cost savings and reinvestments in programs to
promise public safety.
Indigent Defense
Another key priority area in the criminal justice system is support for indigent defense. BJA
continues to encourage states and SAAs to use JAG funds to support the vital needs of the
indigent defense community. Attorney General Holder has consistently stressed that the crisis in
indigent defense reform is a serious concern which must be addressed if true justice is to be
achieved in our nation. In 2002, the American Bar Association (ABA) published Ten Principles
of a Public Defense Delivery System which represent fundamental building blocks for
implementing quality legal representation for indigent defendants. (See
Evidence-Based "Smart" Programs
As a result of the current fiscal crisis, many police departments are experiencing unprecedented
budget cuts, layoffs, and reductions in force. These challenges must be met by making wider
use of advancements in the law enforcement field in the last several decades which rely on use
of data, crime analysis, crime mapping and other analytic tools, cutting edge technology, and
research and evaluations regarding effective policing strategies and programs. BJA offers a
number of program models designed to effectively implement evidence based strategies
including Smart Policing and Smart Probation. A useful matrix of evidence-based policing
programs and strategies is available through the Center U), Evidence-, Policy at George
Mason University and provides valuable information on policing strategies and programs that
work. BJA encourages states to use JAG funds to support these "smart policing" strategies,
including a focus on real time crime analysis centers (CACs), and effective partnerships with
universities and research partners and with non-traditional criminal justice partners.
Counterterrorism continues to be the number one priority for DOJ. At the state and local level,
BJA-2013-3599 OMB No, 1121-0329

high functioning, evidence-based, data-driven public safety agencies are a critical component of
our nation's "all crimes" strategy. In addition, the JAG Program has long supported effective and
collaborative multi-jurisdictional task forces and justice information sharing programs, which
continue as a priority in order to maintain our nation's historic reductions in violent crime.
What an Application Should Include

Applicants that are unable to submit with the application a fully-executed (i.e., signed) copy
of appropriate legal documentation, as described above, consistent with the applicable
tribe's governance structure, should, at minimum, submit an unsigned, draft version of such
legal documentation as part of its application (except in cases where, with respect to a tribal
consortium applicant, consortium bylaws allow action without the support of all consortium
member tribes). If selected for funding, use of and access to funds will be contingent on
receipt of the fully-executed legal documentation.
7. Additional Attachments
Jurisdictions certified as disparate must identify a fiscal agent that will submit a joint
application for the aggregate eligible allocation to all disparate municipalities. The joint
application must determine and specify the award distribution to each unit of local
government and the purposes for which the funds will be used. When beginning the JAG
application process, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that identifies which
jurisdiction will serve as the applicant/fiscal agent for joint funds must be completed and
signed by the Authorized Representative for each participating jurisdiction. The signed MOU
must be attached to the application. For a sample MOU, go to
www.b' ov/Fundin /JAGm. 71f.
Failure to submit this required information will result in an application being change
requested in the Grants Management System (GMS) for inclusion of the missing
information OR the attachment of a withholding special condition at the time of award
if time does not permit for a change request process.
8. Applicant Disclosure of Pending Applications
Applicants are to disclose whether they have pending applications for federally funded
assistance that include requests for funding to support the same project being proposed
under this solicitation and will cover the identical cost items outlined in the budget narrative
and worksheet in the application under this solicitation. The disclosure should include both
direct applications for federal funding (e.g., applications to federal agencies) and indirect
applications for such funding (e.g., applications to State agencies that will be subawarding
federal funds).
OJP seeks this information to help avoid any inappropriate duplication of funding.
Leveraging multiple funding sources in a complementary manner to implement
comprehensive programs or projects is encouraged and is not seen as inappropriate
duplication.

How To Appiy
Applicants must submit applications through the Grants Management System ( :), which
provides cradle to grave support for the application, award , and management of awards at OJP.
Applicants must register in GMS for each specific funding opportunity. Although the
registration and submission deadlines are the same, OJP urges applicants to register
immediately, especially if this is their first time using the system. Complete instructions on how
to register and submit an application in GMS can be found at ww .11sdo14 ,v 1 .,nsebti.
Applicants that experience technical difficulties during this process should e-mail
F,1 dr or call 888-549-9901 (option 3), Monday — Friday from 6:00 a.m. to
midnight eastern time, except federal holidays. OJP recommends that applicants register
immediately to prevent delays in submitting an application package by the deadline.
All applicants should complete the following steps:
1. Acquire a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number. In general, the Office of
Management and Budget requires that all applicants (other than individuals) for federal
funds include a DUNS number in their application for a new award or a supplement to an
existing award. A DUNS number is a unique nine-digit sequence recognized as the
universal standard for identifying and differentiating entities receiving federal funds. The
identifier is used for tracking purposes and to validate address and point of contact
information for federal assistance applicants, recipients, and subrecipients. The DUNS
number will be used throughout the grant life cycle. Obtaining a DUNS number is a free,
one-time activity. Call Dun and Bradstreet at 866-705-5711 to obtain a DUNS number or
apply online at www dnftcom. A DUNS number is usually received within 1-2 business days.
2. Acquire registration with the System for Award Management (SAM). SAM replaces the
Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database as the repository for standard
information about federal financial assistance applicants, recipients, and subrecipients. OJP
requires that all applicants (other than individuals) for federal financial assistance maintain
current registrations in the SAM database. Applicants must update or renew their SAM
registration annually to maintain an active status.
Applicants that were previously registered in the CCR database must, at a minimum:
• Create a SAM account;
• Log in to SAM and migrate permissions to the SAM account (all the entity
registrations and records should already have been migrated).
Information about SAM registration procedures can be accessed at
3. Acquire a GMS username and password. New users must create a GMS profile by
selecting the "First Time User" link under the sign-in box of the °S home page. For more
information on how to register in GMS, go to www.ojp.usdoi.govigi I.

4. Verify the SAM registration in GMS, formerly CCR registration. OJP requests that all
applicants verify their SAM registration in GMS. Once logged into GMS, click the "CCR
Claim" link on the left side of the default screen. Click the submit button to verify the SAM
(formerly CCR) registration.
5. Search for the funding opportunity on GMS. After logging into Grv1S or completing the
GMS profile for username and password, go to the "Funding Opportunities" link on the left
side of the page. Select "Bureau of Justice Assistance" and the "Edward Byrne Memorial
Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program—Local Solicitation."
6. Register by selecting the "Apply Online" button associated with the solicitation title.
The search results from step 5 will display the solicitation title along with the registration and
application deadlines for this funding opportunity. Select the "Apply Online" button in the
"Action" column to register for this solicitation and create an application in the system.
7. Complete the Disclosure of Lobbying Activities, if applicable. Any applicant that
expends any funds for lobbying activities must provide the detailed information requested on
the form, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities (SF-LII).
8. Follow the directions in GMS to submit an application consistent with this
solicitation. Once submitted, GMS will display a confirmation screen stating the submission
was successful. Important: In some instances, applicants must wait for GMS approval
before they can submit an application. OJP urges applicants to submit the application at
least 72 hours prior to the due date of the application.
Note: GMS does not accept executable fileyit :)es as application attachments. These
disallowed file types include, but are not limited to, the following extensions: ".com," ".bat,"
".exe," ".vbs," ".cfg," ".dat," ".db," ".dbf," ".dII," ".ini," ".log," ".ora," ".sys," and
Note: Duplicate Applications
If an applicant submits multiple versions of an application, BJA will review the most recent
version submitted.
Experiencing Unforeseen GMS Technical Issues
Applicants that experience unforeseen GMS technical issues beyond their control that prevent
them from submitting their application by the deadline, must e-mail the BJA Programs Office
staff within 24 hours after the application deadline and request approval to submit their
application. The e-mail must describe the technical difficulties and include a timeline of the
applicant's submission efforts, the complete grant application, the applicant's DUNS number,
and any GMS Help Desk or SAM tracking number(s). Note: BJA does not automatically
approve requests. After the program office reviews the submission, and contacts the GMS
Help Desk to validate the reported technical issues, OJP will inform the applicant whether the
request to submit a late application has been approved or denied. If the technical issues
reported cannot be validated, the application will be rejected as untimely.
The following conditions are not valid reasons to permit late submissions: (1) failure to register
in sufficient time, (2) failure to follow GMS instructions on how to register and apply as posted

2013 MICHIGAN JAG ALLOCATIONS
Listed below are all jurisdictions in the state that are eligible for FY 2013 JAG funding, as determined by the
JAG formula. If your jurisdiction is listed with another city or county government in a shaded area, you are
in a funding disparity. In this case, the units of local government must develop a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) and apply for an award with a single, joint application.
Finding your jurisdiction:(1) Disparate jurisdictions are listed in shaded groups below, in alphabetic order
by county.(2) Eligible individual allocations are listed alphabetically below the shaded, disparate groupings.
Counties that have an asterisk (") under the "Eligible Individual Allocation" column did not submit the level
of violent crime data to qualify for a direct award from BJA, but are in the disparate grouping indicated by
the shaded area The JAG legislation requires these counties to remain a partner with the local jurisdictions
receiving funds and must be a signatory on the required Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). A sample
MOU is provided online at: https://www.bia.qov/Fundinq/JAGMOU.pdf. Disparate jurisdictions do not need
to abide by the listed individual allocations, which are provided for information only. Jurisdictions in a
funding disparity are responsible for determining individual amounts within the Eligible Joint Allocation and
for documenting individual allocations in the MOU. For additional details regarding the JAG formula and
award calculation process, with examples, please refer to the updated JAG Technical report:

OAKLAND COUNTY
FY 2013 JAG - Application 2013-H4077-MI-DJ
Project Narrative — Attachment 1
Project: County of Oakland - Sheriffs Office I.F.S. Investigations — Fire Investigation
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office Investigations & Forensic Services Fire Investigation
currently relies on local fire departments for lighting at the scene when the investigations occur
at night time. Our request is for Fox Fury Scene Light Portable LED lighting system.
The requested items would increase efficiency and operations of the fire investigations on scene
at night or when there is no power on the interior of a business or residence.
Project: County of Oakland - Sheriffs Office LES. InvestigationsProperty Room
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office Investigations & Forensic Services Property Room has
increased its property intake by 100% since Pontiac Sub Station has come on board in 2011.
Do to this increase workload and evidence the property room is in need of the following items:
• Additional computer
• Desk with a monitor that is mounted on a swivel arm as to assist with the limited space
in the intake area.
• New safe for the money that is stored on site.
• Refrigerator for rape kits (the current safe and refrigerator is at maximum capacity).
The requested items would increase efficiency and operations of the property room. And help the
continuation of professionalism and precise accountability needed for the intake, storage and
documentation of evidence.
Project: County of Oakland - Sheriffs Office I.F.S. Investigations — Tactical
The Sheriff's Office inventory of X-26 TASER and X-26 TASER Cameras has been
dramatically reduced due to the 5 year shelf life as determined by Taser International. The
Sheriffs Office has been replacing the X-26 TASER with the X-2 TASER for the following
reason:
• The X2 firing data provides a graph chart noting whether the circuit was
connected (whether the person received any electrical current) and exactly how
much and for how long, reducing potential litigation claims of excessive
exposures (see attached chart). The X-26 does not provide this data.
• The X2 smart cartridges are digitally fired and are not subject to an unintended
static electricity discharged, reducing the potential for litigation as a result of an
unintended deployment.
• The X2 has two laser dots (one for the top probe and one for the bottom probe)
reducing aiming problems/one probe hits, thus reducing the necessity to fire
additional cartridges.
• The X2 Camera is in HD color and is much clearer audio and visual, giving a
better record of the incident.
Project: County of Oakland - Sheriffs Office 1.F.S. Investi ations 7 Fu itive A rehension
Team (FAT)
The Oakland County Sheriffs Office Investigations & Forensic Services Fugitive Apprehension
Team (FAT) requests Apple iPads, tactical flashlights, and a tactical medical solutions R-Aid
bag.
• Apple iPads would be used daily for two primary reasons. 1.) The Fugitive teams use
GPS tracking units on a weekly basis. These units are run on a web based server. By
using the iPads, FAT will be able to track vehicles in real time without the lapse cause by
trying to do it on cell phones. 2.) FAT uses web data bases to track and locate fugitives.
The iPads would allow access from the FAT vehicles, as opposed to going back to the
office or making phone calls to have someone else do it.
• Surefire G2X tactical flashlights are the highest rated by optic planet. These flashlights
would be used on a daily basis in both searching houses and during night operations.
They are small and compact and can be easily used on undercover equipment.
• The tactical medical solutions R-Aid bag is a fully stocked bag that would be used in
conjunction with the tactical medical training FAT has been given by the U.S. Marshall
Service over the last two years.
Project: County of Oakland — Circuit Court Equipment Acquisition
The Circuit Court is requesting equipment to help with the implementation of the new
specialized business docket (SBD) per administrative order of the court. Cases qualify for the
SBD as long as damages sought are expected to exceed $25,000 and include business disputes,
involving torts, contracts, intellectual property, trade secrets, and securities.
Project: County of Oakland - Sheriffs Office Pontiac Law Enforcement Contract
The Oakland County Sheriffs Office through a contract with the City of Pontiac, Emergency
Manager, started providing Police Duties on August 1,2011. This contract and subsequent
contract runs through 12/31/2015 and we anticipate this being renewed for at least 5 years. The
City of Pontiac is under an Emergency Manager appointed by the State of Michigan and the City
has been identified as one of four Cities in Michigan with a high violent crime rate and is listed
in the top 10 Cities in the United States for violent crimes.
Our request is to fight violent crime and lower the homicide rate with the use of overtime. The
Sub-station commander will deploy detectives, conduct special investigations and use a directed
patrol unit when necessary to make arrests based upon intelligence lead and data driven
deployment decisions to impact violent crime areas within the City.
The goal and objective of this project is to lower the violent crime rates within the City, to
protect the citizenry and to remove the criminal elements in the high crime areas.

Abstract and Top Five Project Identifiers — Attachment 4
Abstract
County of Oakland: Sheriffs Office Investigations and Forensic Services Fire investigation
project for the purchase of portable LED lighting system. The requested system will increase
the efficiency and operations of the fire investigations on scene at night or when there is no
power on the interior of a business or residence.
County of Oakland: Sheriffs Office Investigations and Forensic Services Property Room
project for the purchase of an additional computer, desk with mounted monitor, new safe,
and a refrigerator for rape kits. The requested items would increase efficiency and operations
of the property room. The items would also help the continuation of professionalism and
precise accountability needed for the intake, storage and documentation of evidence.
County of Oakland: Sheriffs Office Investigations and Forensic Services Tactical project for
the purchase of Tasers, Taser cameras and accessories. The new Tasers have the ability to
provide data on whether the person received electrical current, in addition to how much and
for how long. The cartridges are digitally fired and are not subject to an unintended static
electricity discharged. The Tasers have two laser dots, reducing aiming problems. The new
Taser cameras are in HD color, which provide clearer audio and visual resulting in better
record of the incident. All of these new features reduce the potential of litigation.
County of Oakland: Sheriffs Office Investigations and Forensic Services Fugitive
Apprehension Team project for the purchase of Apple iPads, tactical flashlights, and a
tactical medical solutions R-Aid bag. The iPads would provide the team the ability to track
vehicles in real time without the lapse of trying to track on cell phones. Also, the team uses

from their vehicles. The flashlights would be used to search houses during night operations;
they are small and compact so can easily be used as undercover equipment. The ft-Aid bag
would be used in conjunction with the tactical medical training the team has been given by
the U.S. Marshall Services over the last two years.
