The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) awarded a $3,511,437 Project Grant under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710) to the Guam Police Department. The funding will support the Government of Guam in enhancing public safety, law enforcement capabilities, and community policing initiatives across Guam. Key activities include hiring additional law enforcement officers, implementing virtual reality-based de-escalation training, establishing specialized units for domestic violence and sexual assault cases, and procuring body-worn cameras. The award aims to promote collaborative partnerships between law enforcement and the community, improve officer crisis response and wellness, and advance innovative approaches to crime prevention.

The cops hiring program (CHP) provides funding to law enforcement agencies to hire and/or rehire additional career law enforcement officers in an effort to increase their community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts. Anticipated outcomes of CHP awards include engagement in planned community partnerships, implementation of projects to analyze and assess problems, implementation of changes to personnel and agency management in support of community policing, and increased capacity of agency to engage in community policing activities.
