Officers will become <br /> more efficient and effective in identifying areas of increased criminal activity. Decatur Police Officers will <br /> review police reports,Crime Stoppers tips,and collect information from the department's crime analysts, <br /> undercover drug unit and narcotics Detectives and reference ongoing investigations. Personnel will utilize this <br /> information to target the"hot spots" in Decatur where gun violence and other violent crimes are most <br /> predominate. Decatur Police officers will work proactive overtime hire backs in the form of anti-gun and gang <br /> suppression units, bike patrols,foot patrols, increased numbers of motorized patrols, and saturate the areas <br /> where the highest number of crimes are being committed. Patrols will give officers the opportunity to interact <br /> with citizens,the basis of community policing,to gather their input as to why they believe violent crimes are <br /> being committed and why individuals are selecting their neighborhoods for criminal activity as well as develop <br /> specific information known to the residents of the community. Macon County, Illinois will be using their <br /> subrecipient JAG Funds to assist the Decatur Police Department by providing deputies to increase officer <br /> coverage in areas with high gun and violent crimes. The project goal will be to ensure the citizens in these <br /> high crime areas have a heightened sense of safety in their communities and to target and arrest those <br /> involved with gun violence and other violent crimes. <br /> Project Identifiers:Overtime, Firearms,Violent Crimes,and Gangs <br /> Proposal Narrative <br /> Name Category Created by Applic Date <br /> 2023 JAG Grant Proposal Janice Frankovich ation Added <br /> Macon County Narrative Numbe <br /> Sheriff Narrative r 08/24/2 <br /> https://justgrants.usdoj.gov/prweb/PRAuth/app/J GITS_/3yZ6Bxxi_1pDExTOT4XnAjzjAXmVNevW'/!TABTHREAD6?pyActivity=%40baseclass.pzProc... 5/19 <br />
