The Michigan State Police Grants and Community Services Division, in collaboration with the Center for Justice Planning, is developing a survey followed by individual data collection calls to assess JAG program needs across law enforcement, corrections, and other key stakeholders. This survey aims to identify JAG funding needs, including program area priorities, technology requirements, and funding allocation priorities. The insights gathered from the survey and data collection calls will support MSP in their upcoming strategic planning process.
