Scott Announces Grant for Rockdale County
Today Congressman David Scott (GA-13) announced that a federal grant for $14,439 has been awarded to Rockdale County by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
“I am proud to share this good news with the fine people of Rockdale County,” said Congressman Scott. “Law enforcement officers of Rockdale County will use these funds to purchase needed equipment to prevent and control crime in the communities they serve. This grant further 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 Rockdale County was funded through the Department of Justice’s FY2006 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. |
