The grant award amount represents $56,559 in federal grant funding, $169,676 in state grant funding, and $46,066 in required local in-kind matching funds. BACKGROUND: The ADF&A has provided federal and state funding to the City of Fayetteville for multi-jurisdictional drug task force activities since 1991. Grant funding is provided by the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program and the State Drug Crime Enforcement and Prosecution Fund. Use of these funds are dictated by the 2020-2025 Statewide Strategic Plan adopted by the Arkansas Alcohol and Drug Abuse Coordinating Council.

Participating law enforcement agencies include Fayetteville, Springdale, Prairie Grove, Farmington, Lincoln, Greenland, West Fork, Goshen, Elkins, Tontitown, Elm Springs, and Washington County. The 4th JDDTF Control Group consists of top law enforcement officials from Fayetteville, Springdale, Elkins, and Washington County.
