The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) is seeking applications for the FY25 Community Policing Development: Law Enforcement Products and Resources program. This cooperative agreement aims to develop national-level law enforcement products and resources focused on advancing crime fighting, community engagement, problem-solving, and organizational changes in support of community policing. Applicants must be prepared to take primary responsibility for administering the funding, managing the project, and monitoring compliance, with the option to include subrecipients in the project. The program specifically supports the development of innovative strategies and resources that offer creative approaches to improving law enforcement practices. Key qualifications include the ability to develop products designed for national distribution that address critical policing topics. The application deadline is June 24, 2025, and all proposals will be evaluated based on their potential to support community policing objectives and advance the Administration's law enforcement priorities.

While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, the related Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program typically provides funding ranging from $40,000 to $800,000, with performance periods spanning two to five years. The place of performance will be within the jurisdiction of the recipient agency, with a focus on developing resources that can be implemented nationwide. Eligible applicants include other types of organizations, with a preference for entities that can demonstrate innovative approaches to community policing development. The funding is subject to the availability of appropriated funds and may be modified by additional legal requirements. All awards will align with Executive Orders aimed at supporting law enforcement efforts, including officer hiring and retention, crime prevention, and community engagement strategies.

Any other entities carrying out the federal award must be identified as proposed subrecipients. The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for carrying out the awards, including administering the funding, managing the entire project and monitoring compliance. The terms and conditions of the federal award are also applicable to subrecipients. Please note the distinction between a subaward that creates a financial assistance relationship to carry out a portion of the federal award and a contract that creates a procurement relationship for the purchase of goods and services needed under the federal award. To assist in making subrecipient and contractor determinations, please refer to the guidance in 2 C.F.R. § 200.331. All future awards will comply with Executive Orders and Attorney General memoranda to advance the Administration's priority of reestablishing law and order to include the increased hiring and retention of state and local sworn officers, state and local law enforcement collaboration with federal task forces, cracking down on the open use of illegal drugs, interrupting the distribution of fentanyl and other dangerous drugs, preventing crime, promoting nuisance abatement, countering human trafficking and child smuggling, and enhanced immigration enforcement and border security.

As community policing is common sense policing, throughout the NOFO materials, the terms 'community policing' and 'common sense policing' are used interchangeably, unless otherwise specified.
