About this opportunity
The FY25 COPS Office Anti-Heroin Task Force Program (AHTF) is a grant opportunity provided by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office). The program aims to fund state law enforcement agencies in states with high per capita rates of primary treatment admissions for the locating or investigating illicit activities relating to the distribution of heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, or prescription opioids. The funding can be used for additional law enforcement, civilian, and task force personnel, training, and equipment to increase the number of hours devoted to statewide task forces, the number and variety of agencies participating in task forces, and the analytical capability of task forces. The program is focused on community policing practices, and the application deadline is June 25, 2025.
The AHTF program does not provide funding for treatment programs or prosecution of opioid-related activities. Award details, such as the total available budget and individual award amounts, are not specified in the grant opportunity. The program is open to state government and other eligible applicants, and the place of performance is statewide within the applicant's jurisdiction.
Synopsis
The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) is the component of the U.S. Department of Justice responsible for advancing the practice of community policing by the nation's state, local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies through information and grant resources. To date, the COPS Office has been appropriated more than $21 billion to advance community policing, including grants awarded to more than 13,000 state, local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies to fund the hiring and redeployment of nearly 140,000 officers. COPS Office information resources, covering a wide range of community policing topics such as school and campus safety, violent crime, and officer safety and wellness, can be downloaded via the COPS Office's home page, https://cops.usdoj.gov. The FY25 COPS Office Anti-Heroin Task Force Program (AHTF) provides funding directly to state law enforcement agencies in States with high per capita rates of primary treatment admissions for the locating or investigating illicit activities, through Statewide collaboration, relating to the distribution of heroin, fentanyl, or carfentanil, or relating to the unlawful distribution of prescription opioids. By providing funding for additional law enforcement, civilian, and task force personnel, training, and equipment, the program seeks to increase the number of hours devoted to statewide task forces, increase the number and variety of agencies participating in task forces, and enhance the analytical capability of task forces. As community policing is common sense policing, throughout the AHTF Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) materials, the terms "community policing" and "common sense policing" are used interchangeably, unless otherwise specified. Note: AHTF funding is not available for treatment programs or prosecution of heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, or other opioid- related activities.
