This is formula funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance for local governments and federally recognized tribes to support criminal justice efforts like hiring, equipment, training, and information systems. It is not for businesses of any kind: for-profit companies, sole proprietors, and small businesses cannot apply, and nonprofits are not accepted either. Only county, city or township, special district, other local governments, and federally recognized tribal governments should bother.

Formula funding for eligible units of local government (counties, cities/townships, special districts, other local governments, and federally recognized tribes) to support criminal justice efforts: hiring personnel, purchasing equipment and supplies, contractual support, training, technical assistance, and information systems across eleven program areas.
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is committed to advancing work that furthers the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) mission to keep our country safe and secure and uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of American citizens. OJP provides federal leadership, funding, and other critical resources to directly support law enforcement, combat violent crime, protect American children, provide services to American crime victims, and address public safety challenges, including human trafficking and the opioid crisis. This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program—Local Formula. This opportunity will provide formula funding to eligible units of local government to, in general, support hiring additional personnel and/or purchase equipment, supplies, contractual support, training, technical assistance, and information systems for criminal justice or civil proceedings, including for any one or more of the eleven program areas. Applicants should check the FY26 JAG allocations to determine if they are eligible to receive direct JAG funding from BJA prior to starting an application: https://bja.ojp.gov/program/jag/allocations.
