Awards and disbursements of grant funds shall consider the following factors:

•                     The number of law enforcement officers employed by the Agency

•                     The number of vehicle cameras currently available to the Agency

•                     The median household income in the Agency’s community (as identified by the U.S. Census Bureau)

•                     The crime rate in the Agency’s community (as identified by the Illinois State Police)

•                     The total number of vehicular accidents/crashes in the Agency’s community

•                     Whether or not the Agency’s community received revenue from red light and/or speed enforcement cameras

•                     Agency compliance with the reporting requirements of the Uniform Crime Reporting Act

•                     Agency compliance with reporting requirements of the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn Body Camera Act.
