A new report from the U.S. Department of Justice describes the complicated formula used to distribute $278.4 million in federal “JAG” or “Byrne” grants in fiscal year 2013. These grants go to state and local governments for their criminal justice agencies. In total, Connecticut state and local governments received $3,027,995. Not surprisingly, the largest grant allocations went to California, Texas, Florida, and New York.
To find out more about the allocation process and how Connecticut compared to other states, see the report, Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, 2013.
