The U. S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office, https://cops.usdoj.gov is pleased to announce that it is seeking applications for funding for the FY 25 Community Policing Development:
Law Enforcement Products and Resources program.
Community Policing Development (CPD) funds are used to develop products and resources provide guidance on promising practices, develop and test innovative strategies; build knowledge about effective practices and outcomes; and support new, creative approaches to preventing crime and promoting safe communities and a positive image of policing.
FY25 CPD Law Enforcement Products and Resources program funding supports the development of products and resources on law enforcement topics, specifically designed for national distribution that offer creative ideas to advance crime fighting, community engagement, problem solving, or organizational changes in support of community policing.
The COPS Office welcomes applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award; however, only one entity may be the applicant.
Any other entities carrying out the federal award must be identified as proposed subrecipients.
The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for carrying out the awards, including administering the funding, managing the entire project and monitoring compliance.
The terms and conditions of the federal award are also applicable to subrecipients.
Please note the distinction between a subaward that creates a financial assistance relationship to carry out a portion of the federal award and a contract that creates a procurement relationship for the purchase of goods and services needed under the federal award.
To assist in making subrecipient and contractor determinations, please refer to the guidance in 2 C.F.R.
§ 20 0. 33 1. All future awards will comply with Executive Orders and Attorney General memoranda to advance the Administration’s priority of reestablishing law and order to include the increased hiring and retention of state and local sworn officers, state and local law enforcement collaboration with federal task forces, cracking down on the open use of illegal drugs, interrupting the distribution of fentanyl and other dangerous drugs, preventing crime, promoting nuisance abatement, countering human trafficking and child smuggling, and enhanced immigration enforcement and border security.
All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and any modifications or additional requirements that may be imposed by law.
As community policing is common sense policing, throughout the NOFO materials, the terms ‘community policing’ and ‘common sense policing’ are used interchangeably, unless otherwise specified.
