Summary Explanation and Background:

The U.S. Department of Justice has notified the Brevard County Sheriff's Office of the 2022 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Local Solicitation. Brevard County is eligible to receive a direct allocation of $47,400.00 that must be used for law enforcement purposes.

 

The award will enhance criminal investigations by funding a Deputy Agent position that focuses on fraud and identity theft, referring to crimes in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person’s personal data in a way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain. A prevalent crime in Brevard County, fraud and identity theft has had a significant financial and investigative impact on law enforcement.  The agency believes this position and associated operational expenses continue to be the best use of grant funds.
