The Fresno Police Department was awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Justice's Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants (CFDA 16.710) program. The funding will be used to support the department's efforts to achieve accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). Specifically, the grant will cover the costs of a skilled professional staff employee, training, acquisition of essential resources such as computer equipment and software, sworn officer overtime, and fees associated with the accreditation process and onsite assessment. This grant aligns with the COPS Office's mission to assist state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies in enhancing effectiveness and building capacity through the implementation of community policing strategies.
