The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) in Connecticut has been awarded a $5,705,878 Project Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.008). This grant funding will enable DESPP to provide physical security enhancements and other security-related activities to nonprofit organizations across the state that are at high risk of terrorist or extremist attacks. Key products and services to be delivered include installing surveillance systems, access controls, fencing, shatter-resistant glass, lighting, and contracted security personnel to mitigate risks facing vulnerable soft targets and crowded places. DESPP will serve as the primary recipient and coordinate with local agencies as sub-recipients to implement these security improvements for eligible nonprofit organizations in Connecticut over the 36-month performance period from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2027.
