Guam’s plan details how the FY 2025 JAG funds will improve functionality across Guam’s criminal justice system. The narrative was developed in alignment with the priority areas defined in the Guam FY 2025-2029 Multi-Year Strategy for Drug Control, Violent Crime, and Criminal Justice Systems Improvement. These established priorities include:
- Law Enforcement Priority
- Planning, Evaluation, and Technology Improvement Priority
- Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation
- Corrections & Community Corrections
- Prevention & Education
Our strategic plan relies on evidence-based approaches to guide funding toward critical programs that prevent crime, improve criminal justice information systems, and support substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation. The multi-year strategy is available for review or download on the Bureau’s website at https://bsp.guam.gov/.
