About this program
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance administers the Security Assistance Reimbursement Grant Program (CFDA 16.042) to reimburse state and local law enforcement agencies for extraordinary costs incurred during special security events, including those associated with presidential protection; the program's most recent grant award was disbursed on November 4, 2020.
Program activity has been minimal and episodic. The portfolio reflects one grant award issued in 2020, with no subsequent awards documented. The single awarded grant—a Project Grant to Delaware for President-Elect Security Assistance Reimbursement—was funded under emergency supplemental appropriations tied to the 2020 election and 2021 inauguration transition period, with obligated federal dollars reported as $0.00. No grant opportunities have been posted since December 2021, when a solicitation closed after the Delaware application was submitted.
The program's scope is narrowly defined: reimbursement of documented law enforcement and related costs that exceed normal operations and are directly attributable to protecting the President-elect during the transition period between election and inauguration. Eligible applicants are state and local law enforcement agencies. The assistance type is Project Grant.
Funding concentration is not applicable to a single-award portfolio; the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance is the sole funder on record.
The program appears dormant outside of election-transition funding cycles tied to emergency supplemental appropriations. No recurring appropriation, regular funding cadence, or open solicitation is evident from the source. Prospective applicants should monitor the Office of Justice Programs web site for new solicitations, which would emerge only upon legislative authorization and appropriation tied to a presidential transition event. Grantees must maintain financial records for three years following audit closeout and return signed award documents within 45 days of notification.
