Law Enforcement Officer Reimbursement Agreement Program

The Department of Homeland Security reimbursed local law enforcement officers deployed at airport screening checkpoints under CFDA 97.090, with the most recent grant award dated October 1, 2009. This program is inactive; no grant awards have been disbursed since 2009, making it unsuitable for pursuit.

The program funded reimbursement agreements with local police departments and sheriff's offices to staff airport security checkpoint operations in compliance with TSA regulations. Awards were structured as cooperative agreements exclusively, with all 299 historical awards executed between October 2007 and October 2009. The portfolio reflects declining activity: 284 awards in 2007, 14 in 2008, and 1 in 2009, signaling program wind-down nearly two decades ago.

Department of Homeland Security was the sole funding source, obligating $63.1 million in federal dollars across the program's lifetime. Recipients also contributed $15.5 million in matching funds, for a total of $78.6 million obligated. Award magnitudes ranged widely, from $2,502 to $2.63 million, reflecting variation in deployment scale across airports. Representative recent awards included cooperative agreements of $47 thousand (October 2009), $387 thousand (October 2008), and $1.85 million (October 2007).

No recent grant opportunities are posted under this listing. The program appears to have concluded operations more than fifteen years ago, with all outstanding cooperative agreements completing by September 30, 2012. This listing does not represent an active funding vehicle.
