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 Assistance (BJA) for the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant and its successor, 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 mediations/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.
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners appoint as LLEAC members Commission Chair Tick Segerblom (LLEAC Chair), Commissioners William McCurdy II (LLEAC Vice-Chair) and Michael Naft, as well as Las Vegas City Council Members Francis Allen-Palenske and Olivia Diaz, for a one-year term expiring April 14, 2026.
The District Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved this items as to form.
