OCJS AND JAG

The Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS) is a division of the Ohio Department of Public Safety. By statute, OCJS is the lead justice planning and assistance office for the state, administering millions of dollars in state and federal criminal justice funding every year. OCJS also evaluates programs and develops technology, training, and products for criminal justice professionals and communities. OCJS has been designated by Governor John R. Kasich to administer the FY 2011 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds.

Proposed to streamline justice funding and grant administration, the JAG Program allows states, tribes and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs and conditions. JAG blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant programs to provide agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are needed most.

What to Expect

Application. For technical assistance on any part of the JAG application, call OCJS at: 614.466.7782 and ask to speak to your Grants Coordinator or e-mail: BAMiller@dps.state.oh.us and include the county where your project is located.

Regional Contacts:

Review. JAG proposals will be competitively reviewed by OCJS and outside criminal justice professionals. Internal compliance reviews are conducted and consist of reviewing the timeliness of financial and programmatic reporting. Project budgets will be reviewed to assure that costs are allowable and directly relate to the program. Final funding recommendations are made by the OCJS Executive Director.

*Grant Reviewer. OCJS encourages applicants to identify the name of a qualified professional who may have an interest in participating as a peer grant reviewer. Participating as a peer grant reviewer is an important role, and provides an excellent opportunity for participants to strengthen grant writing skills, and gain knowledge or share programmatic best practices occurring throughout the field. Confirmation of reviewers will be based upon the number of applications that are received, availability, and other aspects related to coordinating review teams.

Contact information should be sent to Melissa Darby at MBDarby@dps.state.oh.us with “Peer Review” as the subject line and include:

▪ Name

▪ Agency Affiliation

▪ Address

▪ Phone

▪ Email

Award. Award notifications will be mailed to selected projects. Before final approval, projects must complete and return all required forms. Prior to funding, grantees will receive orientation information regarding funding conditions and grant management strategies. All awards will be for 12 months of funding, operating from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

No Continuation. Please note that projects funded with fiscal year 2009 Recovery and Reinvestment Act JAG dollars will not be considered continuation projects under the fiscal year 2011 JAG program. In other words, those programs that received a 2009 Recovery grant will not be guaranteed funding for the same project.

Multi-Jurisdictional Law Enforcement Task Forces. All applicants for Program Area A01, Multi-Jurisdictional Law Enforcement Task Forces, must use the A01 application. This application is specifically for task forces only. This application can be found on the OCJS website at: . A01 applications must be mailed or hand delivered, the application cannot be submitted online. Please note that some heading components of the A01 application differ from the online application.

EligibilE APPLICANTS

All JAG applicants must have an organization, or subgrantee, that will serve as the fiduciary agent and assume overall responsibility for the grant. Eligible JAG subgrantees include:

1. A unit of local government or council of governments. A unit of local government has legislative autonomy, jurisdiction, and authority to act in certain circumstances. Units of government include a city, county, township, or village. If two or more jointly apply, they must designate one body to take the lead role and identify that agency's fiscal officer, or

2. State agencies, state-supported universities, or

3. Statewide and local nonprofit or faith-based associations. Projects implemented by courts, law enforcement agencies, and mental health boards may not act as their own subgrantees.

4. Law enforcement agencies applying under this solicitation must be in compliance with crime statistics reporting, using either the Ohio Incident-Based Reporting Summary System or Uniform Crime Reporting Summary System, per Ohio Revised Code Section 5502.62(C)(6).

APPLICANT TRAINING

OCJS will be hosting a voluntary Grant Bidder’s Conference on May 9, 2011 from 9-11 a.m. at the Ohio Department of Transportation building located at 1980 W. Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio, in the auditorium. The training will discuss the application process and provide detailed training information that will be useful in preparing a Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) and/or Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) grant application. Individuals interested in attending must register for the trainings. Changes to the scoring matrix will be addressed at the training.

Conference registration is required for attendance. Please complete the registration form at the end of this document and fax it to Melissa Darby at 614-466-0308, or send via email to: MBDarby@dps.state.oh.us.

PROGRAM PURPOSE

JAG funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice for any one of the following Program Purpose Areas:

A Law Enforcement Programs

B Prevention and Education Programs

C Corrections and Community Corrections Programs

D Prosecution, Court, and Victim Services Programs

E Research, Evaluation, and Technology Improvement Programs

Length of Funding

Projects may apply for 12 months of funding, operating from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.

MATCH

For FY 2011 the 25 percent cash match requirement can be waived due to the effects of the economy. If you would like to waive your cash match, please indicate this on your application. Please note, if applying online cash match must be entered in the budget section, but you can request to have match waived in your narrative. Because the waiver cannot be submitted online it needs to be faxed to 614-466-0308 and include the grant number.

2011 JAG LE

Please note that a separate JAG solicitation will be released September 30, 2011. This grant application will focus on traditionally allowable costs under the original Local Law Enforcement Block Grant, and will be referred to as JAG LE. This program will fund projects that reduce crime, increase public safety, and support the Ohio Incident-Based Reporting System (OIBRS). OIBRS is a crime reporting system that allows law enforcement agencies to submit data directly to state and federal government in an automated format.

Law enforcement agencies applying under this solicitation must be in compliance with crime statistics reporting, using either the Ohio Incident-Based Reporting Summary System or Uniform Crime Reporting Summary System, per Ohio Revised Code Section 5502.62(C)(6).

Programs under criminal justice departments that are consistently reporting crime statistics are the only law enforcement agencies eligible for OCJS funding pursuant to Ohio law. Ohio law requires all law enforcement agencies to report their crime statistics in order to be eligible for criminal justice grants from OCJS.

Funds will be used for:

• Hiring, training, and employing on a continuing basis new, additional law enforcement officers and necessary support personnel.

• Paying overtime to employed law enforcement officers and necessary support personnel for the purposes of increasing the number of hours worked by such personnel.

• Procuring equipment, computer technology, and other materials directly related to law enforcement functions. Allowable costs include equipment needed to implement OIBRS. Funding OIBRS projects will be required to report OIBRS data within a specified time after completion of the subgrant, and the records management system vendor must be an Ohio certified OIBRS vendor.

Seven-month awards will be issued from February 1, 2012 to August 31, 2012. Projects may request a maximum of $20,000 of OCJS/JAG LE funds, and there will be a 10 percent cash match requirement on the total project cost. For FY 2011 the 10 percent cash match requirement can be waived due to the effects of the economy. If you would like to waive your cash match, please indicate this on your application as well as submit a waiver. Because the waiver cannot be submitted online it needs to be faxed to 614-466-0308 and include the grant number. Local law enforcement agencies are eligible to apply as the implementing agency. The unit of local government must serve as the official subgrantee (e.g., mayor or commissioner’s office).

If your agency will receive 2011 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants directly from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance, you will not be eligible to apply for this JAG LE solicitation through OCJS.
