About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) is seeking applications for the FY25 Safer Outcomes: Enhancing De-Escalation and Crisis Response Training for Law Enforcement program. The grant aims to support law enforcement agencies in improving crisis response and de-escalation training, with a focus on community policing strategies. Applicants must be the primary entity responsible for administering the funding, managing the project, and monitoring compliance, though two or more entities may collaborate. The program aligns with broader administration priorities, including improving law enforcement collaboration, preventing crime, and enhancing officer training. The application deadline is June 24, 2025, with evaluation likely focusing on the proposed approach to community policing, training methodologies, and potential impact on public safety and community relations.

Typical awards under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program range from $40,000 to $800,000, with performance periods spanning two to five years. The funding is targeted at municipal police departments, sheriff's offices, and related organizations, with the primary performance location being within the jurisdiction of the recipient agencies. Successful applicants will be expected to implement comprehensive training programs that enhance de-escalation techniques, crisis intervention, and overall community policing approaches. The grant supports a holistic approach to law enforcement training, emphasizing partnerships, organizational transformation, and proactive problem-solving strategies.

Synopsis

The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office, https://cops.usdoj.gov) is pleased to announce that it is seeking applications for funding for the FY25 Safer Outcomes: Enhancing De-Escalation and Crisis Response Training for Law Enforcement - Support for Law Enforcement Agencies program. 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.
