Hafa Adai!
The Bureau of Statistics of Plans is pleased to announce the FY 2024 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program project solicitation. JAG funded projects may address crime through the provision of services directly to individuals and or communities and by improving the effectiveness and efficiency of criminal justice systems, processes, and procedures. The Revised October 2023 FY 2019-2022 Strategy for Drug Control, Violent Crime and Criminal Justice Systems Improvement Strategy, developed by the Bureau of Statistics and Plans, in collaboration with Guam’s criminal justice entities and resource agencies, remains effective until such time as the Bureau develops the new FY 2025-2029 Strategy.
Guam’s Revised October 2023 FY 2019–2022 Drug Control, Violent Crime and Criminal Justice Systems Improvement Strategy reflects the use of JAG funds to support criminal justice initiatives on island through the following priority areas: law enforcement, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment and rehabilitation, planning, evaluation and technology improvement, and prevention and education.
The Bureau is initiating the request for project proposals to allow the opportunity for interested applicants to submit project proposals consistent with the approved priority areas and the Bureau of Justice Assistance requirements. Proposals may be submitted by any established non-profit organization, faith-based organization, law enforcement, victim services, and substance abuse public agencies that are consistent with the approved BJA programs identified in the Revised October 2023 FY 2019–2022 Drug Control, Violent Crime and Criminal Justice Systems Improvement Strategy.
All proposals for review and funding consideration must be submitted to the Bureau of Statistics and Plans by 5:00 p.m., Friday, April 11, 2025.
