Grant Description: The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) is seeking proposals to fund a variety of initiatives designed to enhance local law enforcement community policing efforts. This solicitation provides background on the COPS Office and outlines the types of projects and programs the Office is interested in funding through grants or cooperative agreements. The solicitation should be of particular interest to law enforcement agencies, universities, and profit and non-profit institutions with an interest in and experience with community policing. The purpose of this solicitation is to provide funding for community policing efforts through their direct enhancement, the development of products, tools, or applied research that will facilitate their adoption and implementation and/or the development of training and technical assistance. This solicitation is being announced as an open competition. Awardees will be expected to begin work immediately upon selection. Since 1994, the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services has been the Federal government office whose unique mission it is to directly serve the needs of local law enforcement. COPS is responsible for making grants to States, units of local government, Indian tribal governments, other public and private entities, and multi-jurisdictional or regional consortia with the goals of increasing police presence, expanding and improving cooperative efforts between law enforcement agencies and members of the community, supporting innovative community policing projects, and otherwise enhancing public safety through reductions in crime and social disorder. The COPS Office has awarded grants to more than 13,000 policing agencies across the country and has provided funding for over 116,000 officers through direct hiring grants and the redeployment of officers through the purchase of time-saving technology and the hiring of civilians. The Office has also funded a wide-variety of innovative policing grants to combat crime and enhance public safety. Innovative grants have included funding to foster collaborative problem-solving between police and community-based agencies or schools, engaging faith based communities, domestic violence response and prevention, 311 systems, anti-gang efforts, and methamphetamine reduction. The COPS Office has also funded the creation of 31 Regional Community Policing Institutes (RCPIs) to foster training in community policing at the regional level. The Office has a history of producing practical and useable products and publications for the law enforcement field. Depending on the fundability of proposals received by the COPS Office, funding amounts may be increased or decreased within categories. In addition, all categories/parts may not receive funding based upon the quality of applications. Additional projects may be funded from this solicitation with fiscal year 2004 appropriations if such appropriations are forthcoming. Grants or cooperative agreements will be awarded for a minimum of a one-year grant period and a maximum of a two-year grant period. The COPS Office is seeking proposals under an Open Topic area where applicants are encouraged to develop innovative original proposals that support the mission and goals of the COPS Office. In addition, the COPS Office is seeking specific proposals in the following two general categories: Applied Research/Pilot Programs and Evaluations. Descriptions of the specific types of proposals the Office is seeking are provided under each of these general areas. Please note that applicants are eligible to apply for several projects under multiple areas. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit original and innovative ideas under the Open Topics area.
