BACKGROUND:
Since 1996, with the exception of FY2009 and FY2011, Clark County has been the recipient and administrative agent of funding received from the Bureau of Justice (BJA) for the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant and its success, the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). These funds have supported various local government agencies and nonprofit organizations in their efforts to undertake criminal prosecution of violent offenders, conduct peer mediation/conflict resolution in the public school system, reduce gang violence, and implement other programs aimed at reducing crime and promoting public safety.
The Local Law Enforcement Advisory Committee (LLEAC) makes JAG award allocation recommendations for grant agreements with local government agencies and nonprofit organizations.
On September 20, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners approved the appointment of Commissioner Tick Segerblom (Chair), William McCurdy II (Vice-Chair), and Michael Naft, as well as Las Vegas City Council members Stavros Anthony and Cedric Crear as LLEAC members to serve a term thru September 30, 2023.
On December 21, 2022, at the Las Vegas City Council meeting, Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman recommended the appointment of City Council member Francis Allen-Palenske to the Local Law Enforcement Advisory Committee, replacing Stavros Anthony.
The Board is being requested to approve and appoint Francis Allen-Palenske to fill Council member Stavros Anthony's position on the LLEAC.
The District Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved this item as to form.
