The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) is seeking applications for the FY25 Safer Outcomes grant focusing on enhancing de-escalation and crisis response training for law enforcement academies and state-level training commissions. The primary objective is to develop comprehensive curriculum integration for improving law enforcement crisis intervention and de-escalation techniques. Applicants must be entities capable of primary project management, with the option to include subrecipients in the implementation. Key requirements include demonstrating the ability to advance community policing strategies, improve officer training, and support collaborative approaches to public safety. The grant opportunity emphasizes developing partnerships between law enforcement agencies and communities to build trust and proactively address public safety issues. The application deadline is June 24, 2025, with the solicitation posted on May 14, 2025.

The grant falls under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710), with typical award values ranging from $40,000 to $800,000 and performance periods spanning two to five years. Funding will support projects targeting law enforcement agencies at local, state, and tribal levels, with a focus on specialized training programs and organizational development. The place of performance will be within the jurisdiction of the recipient agencies, with a preference for projects that demonstrate innovative approaches to community policing, crisis intervention, and officer training. Eligible applicants include municipal police departments, sheriff's offices, universities, and nonprofit organizations specializing in law enforcement training and support.

The COPS Office welcomes applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award; however, only one entity may be the applicant. 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. All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and any modifications or additional requirements that may be imposed by law. 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.
