CPSO APPLIES FOR GRANT UNDER 2011 JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT LOCAL SOLICITATION The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office has applied for grant funding under the 2011 Justice Assistance Grant Local Solicitation. The proposed budget for this grant, administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), is based on the funding of $41,898. The CPSO has elected to apply its 2011 Byrne JAG funding across three main areas of law enforcement activities including fitness for duty, court security, and investigations. Intended acquisitions of equipment include investigative software and a Windows based computer system (Leads Online) designed to effectively manage the huge volume of property and scrap metal processed by second-hand dealers, fitness for duty and wellness program exercise equipment, and a non-lethal, shock belt for court security deputies to provide an alternative method of improving effective control of inmates in the court environment. The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office welcomes comments on this federal grant application from all community-based organizations, neighborhood groups, and citizens of Calcasieu Parish.
