Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Formula Program: Local Solicitation Deadline Extended The Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Formula Program: Local Solicitation deadline has been extended. The new application deadline is 8:00 p.m. ET on June 17, 2009. The Bureau of Justice Assistance, a component of the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs (OJP), established the previous deadline of May 18 to encourage early submission of applications in an effort to provide economic stimulus as soon as possible. Because this is a non-competitive formula grant program, the extension of this deadline does not impact either eligibility or funding determinations. For more information on this deadline extension, search keyword "JAG" in the News section under Current Affairs. Quest-Response Recognition Program Continues!

DATABASES Medical Marijuana Seizure Form This form is taken from the Berrien Springs Oronoko Township, Michigan, Police Department. This form is used in situations where marijuana has been seized and the offender claims to have a valid Medical Marijuana Card, but no card is available at the time of arrest. The offender has five business days to provide the department with proof of legal possession. The full text of this form is located in the Forms Database under document #605105 and is downloadable in PDF and Word formats. Handling of Confiscated License Plates and Drivers' Licenses This policy is taken from the Las Vegas, Nevada, Metropolitan Police Department Policy Manual. This policy requires that suspended/revoked license plates and drivers' licenses be confiscated and returned to the Department of Motor Vehicles for proper record keeping and disposition. If a person is cited for driving on a suspended or revoked license -- as opposed to driving with an invalid license -- upon conviction, the period of suspension or revocation will be doubled. The full text of this policy is located in the Policies Database under document #605287.
