The Honorable Daniel M. Pope
City of Lubbock
1625 13th Street
Lubbock. TX 79401
Dear Mayor Pope:
Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs, Congress linked the receipt of federal funding to
compliance with federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial assistance from the OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) comply with the applicable federal civil rights laws. We at the OCR are
available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with DOJ funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
Federal laws that apply to recipients of financial assistance from the DOJ prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in employment but also in the delivery of services or benefits. A federal
law also prohibits recipients from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits.
In March of 2013, President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The statute amends the Violence
Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) by including a nondiscrimination grant condition that prohibits discrimination based on actual or
perceived race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The new nondiscrimination grant
condition applies to certain programs funded after October 1, 2013. The OCR and the OVW have developed answers to some frequently
asked questions about this provision to assist recipients of VAWA funds to understand their obligations. The Frequently Asked Questions
are available at http:tiojp.goviabout/ocr vawafaqs.htm.
Enforcing Civil Rights Laws
All recipients of federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of the grant award, or the number of
employees in the workforce, are subject to prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly, the OCR investigates recipients that
are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, the OCR selects a
number of recipients each year for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal opportunity standards.
Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals
In accordance with DOJ guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, recipients of federal financial
assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited English
proficiency (LEP). See U.S. Department of Justice, Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition
Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons, 67 Fed. Reg. 41,455 (2002). For more information
on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals, please see the website
http://www.lep.gov.
Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith -Based Organizations
The DOJ regulation, Equal Treatment for Faith -Based Organizations, 28 C.F.R. pt. 38, requires State Administering Agencies (SAAB) to
treat faith -based organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits SAAB from making awards or grant
administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the religious composition of its
board of directors.
The regulation also prohibits faith -based organizations from using financial assistance from the DOJ to fund inherently (or explicitly)
religious activities. While faith -based organizations can engage in non -funded inherently religious activities, they must hold them
separately from the program funded by the DOJ, and recipients cannot compel beneficiaries to participate in them. The Equal Treatment
Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the DOJ are not permitted to discriminate in the
provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the regulation, please see the OCR's website at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocrequal fbo.htm.
SAAs and faith -based organizations should also note that the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. § 3789d(c); the Victims of Crime Act of 1984, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 10604(e); the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 5672(b); and VAWA, Pub. L. No. 113-4, sec. 3(b)(4), 127 Stat. 54, 61-62 (to be codified
at 42 U.S.C. § 13925(b)(13)) contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these
nondiscrimination provisions, the DOJ has concluded that it may construe the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) on a case-by-
case basis to permit some faith -based organizations to receive DOJ funds while taking into account religion when hiring staff, even if the
statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids recipients from considering religion in employment decisions.
Please consult with the OCR if you have any questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit
discrimination in employment.
Using Arrest and Conviction Records in Making Employment Decisions
The OCR issued an advisory document for recipients on the proper use of arrest and conviction records in making hiring decisions. See
Advisory for Recipients of Financial Assistance from the U.S. Department of Justice on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission's Enforcement Guidance: Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 (June 2013), available at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov//about/ocr/pdfsfUseofConviction_Advisory.pdf. Recipients
should be mindful that the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen either applicants for employment or employees for retention or
promotion may have a disparate impact based on race or national origin, resulting in unlawful employment discrimination. In light of the
Advisory, recipients should consult local counsel in reviewing their employment practices. If warranted, recipients should also incorporate
an analysis of the use of arrest and conviction records in their Equal Employment Opportunity Plans (EEOPs) (see below).
Complying with the Safe Streets Act
An organization that is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Safe Streets Act, must meet two
obligations: (1) complying with the federal regulation pertaining to the development of an EEOP (see 28 C.F.R. pt. 42, subpt. E) and (2)
submitting to the OCR findings of discrimination (see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c)(5)).
Meeting the EEOP Requirement
If your organization has less than fifty employees or receives an award of less than $25,000 or is a nonprofit organization, a medical
institution, an educational institution, or an Indian tribe, then it is exempt from the EEOP requirement. To claim the exemption, your
organization must complete and submit Section A of the Certification Form, which is available online at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/cert.pdf.
If your organization is a government agency or private business and receives an award of $25,000 or more, but less than $500,000, and has
fifty or more employees (counting both full- and part-time employees but excluding political appointees), then it has to prepare a
Utilization Report (formerly called an EEOP Short Form), but it does not have to submit the report to the OCR for review. Instead, your
organization has to maintain the Utilization Report on file and make it available for review on request. In addition, your organization has to
complete Section B of the Certification Form and return it to the OCR. The Certification Form is available at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/cert.pdf.
If your organization is a government agency or private business and has received an award for $500,000 or more and has fifty or more
employees (counting both full- and part-time employees but excluding political appointees), then it has to prepare a Utilization Report
(formerly called an EEOP Short Form) and submit it to the OCR for review within sixty days from the date of this letter. For assistance in
developing a Utilization Report, please consult the OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/eeop.htm. In addition, your
organization has to complete Section C of the Certification Form and return it to the OCR. The Certification Form is available at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/cert.pdf.
To comply with the EEOP requirements, you may request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at the OCR by telephone at (202)
307-0690, by TTY at (202) 307-2027, or by e-mail at EEOsubmisson@usdoj.gov.
Meeting the Requirement to Submit Findings of Discrimination
If in the three years prior to the date of the grant award, your organization has received an adverse finding of discrimination based on race,
color, national origin, religion, or sex, after a due -process hearing, from a state or federal court or from a state or federal administrative
agency, your organization must send a copy of the finding to the OCR.
Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients
SAAB must have standard assurances to notify subrecipients of their civil rights obligations, written procedures to address discrimination
complaints filed against subrecipients, methods to monitor subrecipients' compliance with civil rights requirements, and a program to train
subrecipients on applicable civil rights laws. In addition, SAAB must submit to the OCR every three years written Methods of
Administration (MOA) that summarize the policies and procedures that they have implemented to ensure the civil rights compliance of
subrecipients. For more information on the MOA requirement, see http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/funding/other requirements.htm.
If the OCR can assist you in any way in fulfilling your organization's civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial
assistance, please contact us.

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states and local governments to
support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve the criminal justice system, some of
which could have environmental impacts. All recipients of JAG funding must assist BJA in complying with NEPA
and other related federal environmental impact analyses requirements in the use of grant funds, whether the funds
are used directly by the grantee or by a subgrantee or third party. Accordingly, prior to obligating funds for any of
the specified activities, the grantee must first determine if any of the specified activities will be funded by the
grant.
The specified activities requiring environmental analysis are:
a. New construction;
b. Any renovation or remodeling of a property located in an environmentally or historically sensitive area,
including properties located within a 100 -year flood plain, a wetland, or habitat for endangered species, or a
property listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places;
c. A renovation, lease, or any proposed use of a building or facility that will either (a) result in a change in its basic
prior use or (b) significantly change its size;
d. Implementation of a new program involving the use of chemicals other than chemicals that are (a) purchased as
an incidental component of a funded activity and (b) traditionally used, for example, in office, household,
recreational, or education environments; and
e. Implementation of a program relating to clandestine methamphetamine laboratory operations, including the
identification, seizure, or closure of clandestine methamphetamine laboratories.
Complying with NEPA may require the preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement, as directed by BJA. Further, for programs relating to methamphetamine laboratory operations,
the preparation of a detailed Mitigation Plan will be required. For more information about Mitigation Plan

The Edward Byme Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states and units of local government, including tribes, to support a broad range of
activities to prevent and control crime based on their own state and local needs and conditions. Grant funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical
assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice, including for any one or more of the
following program areas: 1) law enforcement programs; 2) prosecution and court programs; 3) prevention and education programs; 4) corrections and community
corrections programs; 5) drug treatment and enforcement programs; 6) planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs; and 7) crime victim and
witness programs (other than compensation).
The disparate jurisdictions will utilize the FY 16 JAG to procure various law enforcement equipment and computer software and hardware. The overall project goal
is to provide up-to-date equipment for patrol officers. NCA,'NCF

1. Police Department
Equipment
a. The Lubbock Police Department will purchase a mobile observation tower to assist
with crime prevention in areas that tend to experience higher rates of criminal activity.
The tower will be capable of being deployed quickly with minimal personnel. Equipment
in the tower is expected to consist of computers, camera systems, a public address system
and an air conditioner. This new equipment in the police inventory is expected to foster
closer community relations through a collaborative effort whereby trained volunteers
would be able to work alongside the police department in manning the tower.
Eventually, the Police department expects that the mobile observation tower — manned by
community volunteers — would be one of the earliest steps toward the goal of having an
organized corps of volunteers that can be called upon to assist in areas where a sworn
officer may not be required.

Lubbock County
1. Criminal District Attorney's Office
Equipment and Training
a. The Lubbock County District Attorney's Office (LCDA) continues to upgrade
technology and training in order to work collaboratively with area agencies. Some of the
agencies that the LCDA works with lack the resources to upgrade their equipment or train
personnel in advanced fields related to crash investigation and recovery of digital
evidence. This is where the LCDA can support the South Plains' area with one of the
most technologically advanced prosecutor's offices in the region. These collaborative
efforts are enhanced by the LCDA's ability to receive cases via digital media, cutting
costs related to processing physical case files. A portion of the JAG funding is devoted
to keeping the electronic filing system, which the LCDA uses, in a dependable state
through upgrades of equipment and training of personnel. Additionally, now that visual
media presentations are used more frequently in the courtroom to assist in prosecutions
the electronic equipment needs of the District Attorney's office have increased.
$ 23,587.35
2. Sheriffs Office
Equipment and Training
a. The Lubbock County Sheriff's Office (LSO) will purchase computer hardware and
software to enhance their capabilities to investigate cybercrimes. With the advancement
of technology cybercriminals are increasingly using computers and the internet in their
efforts. To keep up, it is paramount to law enforcement to have advanced knowledge,
skills and equipment to counter the sophistication of cybercrimes. By upgrading the
Cyber Crimes Unit's equipment and training the LSO will continue to stay abreast with
the rapidly evolving world of technology. These upgrades along with the training will
ensure the LSO continues to have the proficient means to investigate cybercrimes.
