OFFICER SAFETY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM The City of El Cajon is applying for a $18,045 federal grant to help fund the upgrading and enhancement of the Police Department’s equipment as it relates to officer safety. Funding opportunities have been made available to law enforcement agencies under the U.S. Department of Justice grant program known as the FY 2006 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. (The JAG Program replaced the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Program that provided local funding to the City of El Cajon since the mid-1990s.) The FY 2008 award will specifically target a need in uniformed operations to continue our program goal of officer safety. By purchasing and issuing tasers (less than lethal weaponry) to all field personnel, the Taser Project will provide us the means to safely and effectively take custody of violent offenders in circumstances which otherwise would require deadly force. Tasers have been proven to effectively reduce injuries to officers and suspects in violent encounters.
