About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), a component of the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, is inviting applications for the FY24 Emergency Federal Law Enforcement Assistance (EFLEA) Program 1. This grant opportunity is intended to provide funding to state and/or local government units to help offset the costs of an adequate response to an uncommon law enforcement emergency situation that threatens to become serious or epidemic in nature, and where state and local resources are inadequate to protect lives, property, and enforce the criminal law. The key objectives are to advance work that promotes civil rights and equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims, strengthens community safety, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. Applications are due by April 9, 2024.
The EFLEA Program provides grant funding to help alleviate extraordinary law enforcement emergencies. The amount of individual awards has not been specified, and will depend on the needs and circumstances of the applicants. Funding is available for a limited timeframe to address the law enforcement emergency that occurred in Highland Park, Illinois, on July 4, 2022.
