About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, seeks applications from state governments through the Emergency Federal Law Enforcement Assistance (EFLEA) Program 3 to provide emergency funding for law enforcement response to extraordinary situations where state and local resources are inadequate to protect lives and property or enforce criminal law. Eligible costs are limited to overtime and regular salary expenses directly incurred during law enforcement emergency response activities, with administrative costs explicitly prohibited. The program operates on an invitation-only basis, with BJA identifying specific jurisdictions experiencing qualifying emergencies and extending invitations to apply. Review procedures include eligibility and responsiveness, merit, programmatic, budget, and risk assessments, with final award decisions made by the Assistant Attorney General. The application deadline is April 30, 2026, with applications submitted through the JustGrants system.
Federal awards under this program have historically ranged from approximately $14,708 to $6,000,000, with the majority of awards falling between $100,000 and $446,781. Project periods are normally 12 months with potential for extensions when specific criteria are met. Recent awards have supported law enforcement responses to mass casualty incidents, active shooter situations, and terrorist attacks across multiple states. Recipients must maintain all financial records and supporting documents for at least three years following the most recent audit in compliance with 2 Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Subpart F. Performance of work occurs within the specific state jurisdictions experiencing the emergency situation.
