About this program
The Department of Justice awarded the final grant under CFDA 16.809 on October 1, 2010 — this Recovery Act program is dormant and no current opportunities are open for pursuit.
The program provided law enforcement resources, equipment, and personnel support to state and local agencies along the Southern border and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to combat drug trafficking and related criminal activity. Recent awards funded intelligence-led policing capabilities, enhanced drug prosecution teams, narcotics investigations, border interdiction task forces, probation officer retention, jail facility improvements, and aftercare community treatment. The San Diego County United States/Mexico Border Criminal Interdiction Strike Team received $5 million; the Aftercare Community Treatment project received approximately $4.9 million; and the Maricopa County project received approximately $2.9 million. Smaller awards ranged from roughly $91,000 to approximately $1.6 million, typically supporting two-year performance periods through mid-2011 or mid-2013.
The program operated as a 100 percent Project Grant vehicle, with 21 awards totaling $30.5 million in federal obligations across its operational window. The Department of Justice was the sole funding agency. Award activity was concentrated in a single funding cycle: 20 awards were made on July 1, 2009, with one additional award on October 1, 2010. The most recent award closed in October 2010, making this program inactive for 16 years.
This program was a time-limited Recovery Act initiative designed to create and preserve jobs while addressing narcotics activity on the Southern border. It is not a recurring annual program, and no evidence of resumed funding or new solicitations appears in the source material. Organizations focused on Southern border law enforcement narcotics operations should monitor whether the Department of Justice launches successor programs, but should not plan around this dormant line.
Objective and description
- Objective
The Recovery Act - State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Program: Combating Criminal Narcotics Activity Stemming from the Southern Border provides resources, assistance, and equipment to local law enforcement along the Southern border and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking areas in order to combat criminal narcotics activity stemming from the Southern border of the United States. In addition to fulfilling the program-specific purposes, projects funded under the Recovery Act should be designed to further one or more of the general purposes of the Recovery Act, which are to preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery; to assist those most impacted by the recession; to provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and health; to invest in transportation, environmental protection, or other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits; and to stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive State and local tax increases.
