Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office awarded $343,003 to the Washoe Tribe of Nevada & California under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. This three-year Project Grant, designated as the Tribal Resources Grant Equipment/Training Program (TRGP-Equipment/Training), supports the Washoe Tribe's law enforcement agency in Gardnerville, Nevada, to advance community policing practices and address critical tribal law enforcement needs.

The funding will be utilized to procure basic equipment, technology, and training resources that enhance the tribe's community policing capacity to prevent and disrupt crime and violence. As a federally recognized tribal government with substantial federal grant experience across social services, environmental management, and public safety domains, the Washoe Tribe will deploy these resources to strengthen organizational capabilities aligned with the COPS Office's core mission of building partnerships between law enforcement and communities to proactively address public safety issues and build community trust.
