The application process will be competitive, and as such it is recommended that interested law enforcement agencies use this time, early in the solicitation period, to contact and develop partnerships with area schools that need to enhance or improve school safety and security equipment and/or measures.To be considered for funding, completed applications must be submitted on-line or postmarked no later than June 13, 2008. 1) You may obtain a copy of the application materials by calling the COPS Response Center at 1.800.421.6770. 2) You may print the application materials from a writeable PDF file that is available for download from the link below.
