Today Congressman David Scott (GA-13) announced that a federal grant for $13,878 has been awarded to the City of Conyers by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). “I am thrilled to share this good news with the fine people of Conyers,” said Congressman Scott. “Law enforcement officers of Conyers will use these funds to purchase needed equipment to prevent and control crime in the communities they serve. This grant award also demonstrates my work in Washington to deliver more money to assist local communities throughout the Thirteenth District, especially to our first responders.” The grant awarded to the City of Conyers was funded through the Department of Justice’s FY2005 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program. JAG Grants may be used to provide personnel, equipment, training, technical assistance, and information systems for more widespread apprehension, prosecution, adjudication, detention, and rehabilitation of offenders who violate state and local laws. ###
