About this program
The Department of Justice administered the Recovery Act – Assistance to Rural Law Enforcement to Combat Crime and Drugs Competitive Grant Program (CFDA 16.810), which closed following its final grant award on October 1, 2010. This program is no longer active and represents a time-limited stimulus initiative.
The program funded rural law enforcement agencies and rural jurisdictions to prevent and combat crime, particularly drug-related offenses, through operational projects, officer positions, and infrastructure enhancements. Representative awards demonstrate the scope: Operation Southern Command Program ($225,000), a multi-county drug and criminal interdiction deputy program along the northern US border ($176,390), rural investigations enhancement in Idaho ($200,508), K-9 drug enforcement in Navajo County ($140,681), and enhanced jail mental health services in Columbia County ($457,397). Larger awards included Ohio's AFIS palmprint and mugshot system enhancement ($2 million), mortgage fraud investigation in rural California ($1.4 million), and a rural law enforcement training and technical assistance cooperative agreement ($2.2 million).
The Department of Justice obligated $126.2 million in federal dollars across 224 total awards between July 2009 and October 2010. The assistance-type mix was predominantly Project Grants (219 awards, 98 percent) with a smaller share of Cooperative Agreements (5 awards, 2 percent). Award activity concentrated heavily in 2009, when 211 awards were made; only 13 awards were made in 2010 before the program concluded.
Typical individual project awards ranged from approximately $135,000 to $800,000, with a cluster of awards in the $200,000 to $300,000 range. No current grant opportunities are open under this assistance listing, as the program was designed as a temporary American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding vehicle and is not accepting new applications.
Objective and description
- Objective
The Assistance to Rural Law Enforcement to Combat Crime and Drugs Competitive Grant Program helps rural states and rural areas to prevent and combat crime, especially drug-related crime and provides for national support efforts, including training and technical assistance programs, strategically targeted to address rural needs. 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.
