The Community Oriented Policing Program (COPS) within the Department of Justice awarded $300,000 to the Executive Office of the Governor of Delaware, operating as the Criminal Justice Council, on October 1, 2025, under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710).

The award funds the Delaware Statewide Law Enforcement Accreditation Project, which will procure and implement a statewide learning and record management (LMS/RMS) system to modernize Delaware's manual, paper-based tracking processes for police training and certification records. The system will enable all 51 police departments across Delaware to achieve and maintain accreditation by the 2028 mandate established under House Bill 206; currently only 25 of 51 agencies are accredited. Project activities include purchasing the technology platform, training all 51 law enforcement agencies on the new system, creating a comprehensive marketing and outreach plan with special emphasis on rural departments in Sussex County, and using the system to track progress toward accreditation by monitoring training hours and courses completed by approximately 2,500 officers statewide. The project will produce summary reports outlining project activities and accreditation status across all participating agencies.

The Criminal Justice Council works in conjunction with the Delaware Police Accreditation Commission and Police Officer Standards and Training Commission on this initiative. Performance occurs in Wilmington, Delaware, with a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027.

Primary activities include purchasing the technology platform, training all 51 law enforcement agencies on the new system, creating a comprehensive marketing and outreach plan with special emphasis on rural departments in sussex county, and utilizing the system to track progress toward accreditation through monitoring training hours and courses completed by approximately 2,500 officers statewide.
