City Of Dowagiac

City Of Dowagiac, doing business as Dowagiac Police Department, is a U.S. local government entity and child division of the City Of Dowagiac municipality that serves as a prime recipient of federal grants (63% of recent awards) and a sub-recipient on grant awards from civilian agencies. The Police Department does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists exclusively of grant funding for community safety and infrastructure programs.

The Police Department's customer base spans three federal agencies with sparse but consistent activity. The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency each account for two awards; the Department of Justice represents one award. These three agencies cover 63% of the Police Department's recent award count. The combined dollars obligated across all eight awards in the source data total $565 thousand, with activity concentrated in recent years — one award each in 2009, 2010, 2013, and 2015, followed by three awards in 2023. The most recent awards, dated September 12, 2023, are federal grant sub-awards for bus replacement; an August 24, 2023 sub-award with description "One" rounds out the 2023 activity.

As a municipal police department, the Police Department operates within the parent City Of Dowagiac structure, which holds broader municipal roles including planning commission, airport authority, transit authority, and council of governments functions. The Police Department's grant work does not establish ongoing IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; each award represents a discrete grant sub-award or prime grant recipient designation. With the most recent award dated September 2023 and no activity recorded thereafter, the Police Department's federal footprint shows sporadic rather than sustained engagement with federal grant programs.
