broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs
and conditions. JAG funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical

information systems for criminal justice. Local units of government receiving JAG

purpose areas, listed below.

3) Prevention and education programs
4) Corrections and corrwnity corrections programs

6) Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs
7) Crane victim and witness programs
Any law enforcement or justice initiative previously eligible for funding under Byme or
LLEBG is eligible for JAG funding.
Each county is allocated a sum of money for use by all local governments within the
county. This amount Is determined through a funding algorithm established le the
administrative rule.
Page
l
Chapter 11 D- 9.005, Florida Administrative Code, requires that units of government in
each county reach consensus concealing the expenditure of theee funds, including the
projects to be implemented and the agency responsible for such i npiementaation.
Maximum coordination is required to meet this program requirement, and the
Department requests the county board of commoners to serve as the coordinating
unit for all local governments within the county. The Chairman, Board of County
Commissioners, in each county so notified is requested to return to the Department a
statement of coon indicating the county's willingness to serve. This certification
must be returned within 30 days from the date of receipt of notification. In the event the
county declines to serve in this capacity, the Department will request the governing
body of each municipality in the county, in descending order of population, to serve as
the coordinating unit of government.
Each county or coordinating unit of government is encouraged to form a criminal justice
coordinating/planning group to identify and implement criminal justice priorities for the
county, to plan strategies to address those priorities, to identify areas of greatest need,
and to review all possible sources of revenue to make sure that funds go to the
programs or issues that need them most
Furthermore, FDLE requires that units of government in each county reach consensus
concerning the expenditure of the JAG funds, including the projects to be implemented
and the agency responsible for such innplernentation. Each county must document thls
consensus by submitting letters from at least 51 percent of the units of government
which also represent at least 51 percent of the population located in said county.
Match Rsauframents
There is no match requirement under the guidelines of the JAG program.

Re: Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2012 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant (JAG) Program — JAG Countywide — State Solicitation
Dear Mayor Jacobs:
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) anticipates an award from the
United States Department of Justice for FFY 2012 JAG funds. FDLE will distribute these
funds in accordance with the JAG Countywide distribution provisions of Chapter 11 D -9,
Florida Administrative Code.
FDLE has set aside $362,932 funds for use by all units of govemment within Orange
County. The enclosed Program Announcement provides an overview of these funds
which can be used by local units of govemment to support a broad range of activities to
prevent and control crime and to improve the criminal justice system. Please note that
the Program Announcement includes information from the U.S. Department of Justice
relating several areas of national focus and its priorities to help maximize the
effectiveness of the Byrne /JAG funding.
As a condition of participation in this program, the units of government in each county
must reach a consensus concerning the expenditure of these funds. This consensus
must include the projects to be implemented as well as the agency responsible for such
implementation.
Developing such consensus will require someone to exercise leadership and assume a
coordinating role in the development of applications for these funds. FDLE
recommends that the Board of County Commissioners assume this responsibility. In
the event the county declines to serve in this capacity, the Department will request the
governing body of each municipality In the county, in descending order of population, to
serve as the coordinating unit of govemment.

REF: FY2012 -13 JAGC Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant
Attached are the Award Notification letter and Program Announcement for the next round
of funding from JAGC Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant. This funding is a
'pass- through' grant with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement as the managing
entity for Florida. We anticipate Orange County receiving $362,932, a reduction of
$98,720 from the current year's award of $461,652. The continual reduction of the award
presents challenges in the equitable distribution to municipalities that do not meet the
minimum to submit an application.
Below is a chart with the allocations based on population, which has been the process for
distribution of these funds for a number of years. Due to the decrease in funding, the
Sheriff's Office will reduce their allotment to provide for each municipality to have at least a
$2,500 minimum. The chart below shows: 1) the Allocation Based on Population, 2) The
amount Short of $2,500, and 3) The Municipality Allocation bringing everyone up to at
least $2,500.
Allocation based Short Of

As in prior years, at least 51% of the municipalities representing at least 51% of the
population must agree in writing, acknowledging their agreement to the distribution of the
funding allocations (this is part of the application). Once you have collectively agreed on
the distribution, I will send you a template to use for this letter. I need an email from each
municipality approving or disapproving the allocation by April 27.

General Project Information
Project Title: DIGITAL RADIO UPGRADE PLAN FOR THE OCOEE POLICE
DEPARTMENT 2012
Subgrant Recipient: City of Ocoee
Implementing Agency: Ocoee Police Department
Project Start Date: 10/1/2012 End Date: 9/30/2013
Problem Identification
The Ocoee Police Department is in need of upgrading the police communication radios from
Analog to Digital. This is part of an agreement with all the agencies in Orange County to be digital
ready by the year 2012. Purchasing the interoperable radio equipment will allow for improved
communications during emergency situations. The radios will allow police officers to fully
communicate with other emergency response personnel, cover a much larger area and serve to
deter crime by quicker response times. The antennas will be used to replace worn, damaged, or
broken antennas.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
The Ocoee Police Department currently has 8 analog radios, in reserve, to be used for police
communications that will need to be replaced with digital radios this year. The Ocoee Police
Department is in need of upgrading the police communication radios from analog to digital. This is
part of an agreement with all the agencies in Orange County to be digital ready on or about May
8, 2012. These radios are an officer' s lifeline and main method of communicating with
dispatchers, other officers, and other agencies. Purchasing interoperable radio equipment will
allow for improved communications during emergency situations. The antennas will allow the
agency to replace worn, damaged, or broken antennas. If the amount of the radios and antennas
are more than the awarded amount, the City of Ocoee Police Department will pay for any
differences.
