Types of Grants
- Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant-Countywide (JAG-C)
- JAG-C is a pass-through grant of federal funds awarded to Pinellas County by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) through the Bureau of Justice Assistance. JAG-C funds programs within Pinellas County that offer a high probability of preventing and controlling crime and/or improving the criminal justice system.

- Law enforcement programs
- Prosecution and court programs

- Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs
- Crime victim and witness programs
- Mental Health programs
- This grant is for projects to be performed between Oct. 1, 2025, and Sept. 30, 2026. Pinellas County typically funds several projects with an average program budget of approximately $25,000. While the County anticipates being allocated $270,837 for this solicitation, this is subject to change as funding recommendations will not be finalized until FDLE announces the official available award amount for Pinellas County.
