JAG Formula Program: Local Solicitation

Award Description: The ARRA Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) provided funds to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve the criminal justice system. The activities include, but are not limited to, the purchase of equipment, supplies, training, the retention of 3 Pretrial Investigators and 1 Pretrial Manager, 1 Hamilton County Records Supervisor, 1 Classification Specialist, 2 Deputies, and the retention of 27 Cincinnati Police Officer positions that would have been eliminated without the JAG ARRA funding. The reason for the increased total federal amount received/invoiced is due to interest income earned ($2,992,749 + $24,631+$330.16).

Description of Jobs Created: For Hamilton County three Pretrial Investigators and one Pretrial Manager (3.18 FTE) have been retained for the Department of Pretrial and Community Transition Services. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office retained two Deputies (1.95 FTE) and one Records Supervisor and a Classification Specialist (2.0 FTE). Hamilton County Pretrial Services Investigators perform comprehensive investigative duties for assigned pretrial release, diversion, and mitigation eligible detainees and inmates. The County’s Pretrial Service is in Phase II of the Jail Intake Assessment Process: streamlining of assessment procedures and forms; integration of evidence-based assessment tools; creation of a fully informed risk report for court officials; creation of a Central IT/EICT Unit to consolidate all assessment work; and redesigning the intake and orientation process. The Sheriff’s Office implemented a passive electronic monitoring program for inmates.

Quarterly Activities: The Forest Park Police Department trained all officers on the Livescan system. Eight officers have also been trained on the 40mm launcher which was purchased in a previous quarter. There was one situation that required this equipment since its arrival. More officers will be trained on this equipment within the next few months. Forest Park has purchased four additional carry bags and ammunition for the launcher. Hamilton County Electronic Monitoring Division monitored an extra 75 offenders through Passive GPS Devices and purchased some uniforms for their deputies. Hamilton County uses the Ohio Risk Tool to improve the quality and quantity of decisions concerning process only releases. Hamilton County Pre-Trial Services is continuing with Phase II of their implementation process for jail intake and population review by utilizing the Ohio Risk Tool. The Village of Lockland Police Department purchased supplies for crime scene gathering and investigation purposes. A generator was purchased. Funds were also used for overtime to investigate several robberies and burglaries and arrests were made. The Loveland Police Department used funds to purchase a radar assembly for a patrol vehicle radar unit.
