About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), an office within the Department of Justice, is inviting applications for the FY25 Small, Rural, and Tribal Body-Worn Camera Program through a cooperative agreement structure. This opportunity seeks to fund organizations that will administer a competitive subaward program for small, rural, and tribal law enforcement agencies establishing or expanding body-worn camera initiatives, while simultaneously providing comprehensive training and technical assistance services to funded agencies. Applicants must demonstrate capability to manage the dual responsibilities of subaward administration and direct TTA delivery to law enforcement partners. The evaluation process will employ eligibility and responsiveness reviews, along with merit, programmatic, budget, and risk assessments as detailed in the notice of funding opportunity. The application deadline is May 6, 2026, with all final award decisions made by the Assistant Attorney General, and successful applicants must accept or decline their award package within 45 days of notification.
Historical awards under the broader Body Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program (CFDA 16.835) have ranged from $8,000 to $2,000,000, with most project grants structured over three-year performance periods. Performance periods typically align with federal fiscal years (October 1 to September 30), with recent awards covering cycles such as October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027. Places of performance will span jurisdictions nationwide, with successful applicants serving as the administrative hub while subawards and technical assistance extend to eligible small, rural, and tribal law enforcement agencies across their respective service areas.
