City Of Emmett

City of Emmett, Idaho, operating as Emmett City Police, is a U.S. local government entity that participates in federal grant programs as a sub-recipient under state pass-through agencies, with no federal contract prime awards or vehicles. The organization has secured $11.4 million in combined federal funding across seventeen awards since 2007, split between nine prime grants and eight sub-grants (47% of activity). Emmett City Police does not compete for federal contracts; its federal engagement is confined to grant sub-awards from state intermediaries, principally the Idaho Department of Transportation and the Executive Office of the State of Idaho.

Federal grant activity concentrates in highway safety and infrastructure. The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration anchors the portfolio with seven awards funding traffic enforcement, high-visibility enforcement mobilizations for impaired driving and seat belt compliance (Click It, Don't Risk It, Thanksgiving campaigns), and dedicated traffic enforcement programs awarded under the 402 grant category. Recent activity includes three sub-awards dated January 6, 2025, from the Idaho Department of Transportation covering Emmett Police Department's traffic enforcement program, impaired driving high-visibility enforcement mobilizations, and participation in the Click It, Don't Risk It enforcement campaign. The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (four awards) and Rural Housing Service (three awards) round out the portfolio, along with a single Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program sub-award. A facility improvement sub-award from the Executive Office of the State of Idaho, dated August 1, 2023, under the Capital Projects Fund program, funded ADA-compliant door installation, pergola and awning construction, and 24-hour holds locker improvements at the police facility.

Activity frequency is irregular: one award in 2009, three in 2013 and 2014, five in 2023, and three in 2025, with no awards recorded in intervening years. Distinct federal customer agencies total six, all distributed through state grantee intermediaries rather than direct federal procurement channels. Emmett City Police holds no parent vehicle positions, does not function as a federal contractor, and does not subcontract to other vendors on federal awards. Its role is limited to receiving and executing grant sub-awards passed through by state agencies for local law enforcement and infrastructure operations.
