About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs is seeking applications for the Emergency Federal Law Enforcement Assistance (EFLEA) Program 2, which provides funding to state and local jurisdictions experiencing extraordinary law enforcement emergencies. The program aims to support jurisdictions where local resources are insufficient to protecting citizens' lives, property, or enforce criminal law during serious incidents. Key requirements include submitting a comprehensive application detailing the law enforcement emergency, its cause, available resources, and a complete line-item budget explaining requested costs. Eligible applicants include all states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, with applications submitted by the State Administering Agency's Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant contact. The grant opportunity is open from September 2, 2025, with responses due by September 9, 2025, and the BJA will expeditiously review and approve or disapprove applications.
The EFLEA Program typically awards grants ranging from $15,000 to $446,781, with most awards falling between $100,000 and $250,000. The project period is normally 12 months, with potential extensions available, and funds may be used for overtime and regular salary costs directly incurred during law enforcement responses. EFLEA funds cannot be used for direct administrative costs, and the state must reimburse jurisdictions proportionate to the incident and affected areas. Recipients must maintain all financial records and supporting documents for at least three years following the most recent audit, in accordance with 2 CFR 200, Subpart F. The program will process awards through the Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs Justice Grants (JustGrants) system, requiring electronic acceptance by the authorized organizational official.
