The organization has been a prime recipient of multiple Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant programs, including the Homeland Security Grant Program, State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program, Nonprofit Security Grant Program, Emergency Management Performance Grant, and Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program. These grants, totaling approximately $35.8 million from 2022-2025, have supported diverse initiatives such as cybersecurity enhancements, emergency operations center upgrades, physical security improvements for nonprofit organizations, training for first responders, vulnerability assessments, and critical infrastructure protection. The Office for Public Security has consistently issued sub-awards to various municipal governments, community organizations, healthcare facilities, and state agencies like the Emergency Management and Disaster Administration Bureau and Department of Police Puerto Rico. Specific activities have included developing governance structures, conducting security assessments, implementing protective measures, delivering workforce training, upgrading communication systems, and supporting border security operations across Puerto Rico's municipalities and partner organizations.
