This information is submitted by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, to further establish program policy and administrative guidance consistent with federal guidelines in order to implement the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program authorized by Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 3711, et seq., as amended.

The purpose of this grant program is to assist states and units of local government in carrying out specific programs which offer a high probability of improving the functioning of the criminal justice system.

2.Improving the functioning of the criminal justice system; and

3.Emphasizing violent crime and serious offenders.

These three purposes are by no means mutually exclusive. They are in fact mutually supportive and integral to the State of Georgia's ability to address effectively and comprehensively its drug and violent crime problem in any realistic way.
