Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office awarded the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe $659,749 under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. Under the Tribal Resources Grant Equipment/Training Program component, this three-year project grant funds the procurement of basic equipment, technology, and training to enhance the tribe's community policing capacity in Fallon, Nevada. The award specifically supports the tribe's efforts to prevent and disrupt crime and violence by advancing community policing practices within the tribal jurisdiction.

The deliverables under this award encompass equipment acquisition and officer training initiatives designed to strengthen tribal law enforcement operations and community partnerships. The COPS Office Tribal Resources Grant Program targets federal recognition tribal governments and supports foundational law enforcement infrastructure aligned with the three pillars of community policing: community partnerships, organizational transformation, and problem-solving methodologies. The funded activities will directly increase the jurisdiction's ability to implement systematic, community-oriented public safety strategies consistent with the program's emphasis on organizational effectiveness and proactive crime prevention.
