Description
The COPS Office is pleased to announce the availability of funding under the COPS Tribal Resources Grant Program 2008 (TRGP 2008). Up to $15 million in federal funds is available in Fiscal Year 2008 to address the serious needs of tribal law enforcement. The TRGP 2008 grant program is a comprehensive program that provides a variety of funding options including officer background investigations, law enforcement training, uniforms, basic issue equipment, department-wide technology, and vehicles for officers. The program’s aim is to enhance tribal law enforcement infrastructure and community policing efforts. This program is open to all Federally Recognized Tribes with established police departments. In addition, tribes that are currently served by Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) law enforcement may request funding under TRGP 2008 to supplement their existing police services. Requests under this program must reflect otherwise unfunded needs. There is no local match requirement for the TRGP 2008 grant; therefore, the COPS Office will prioritize funding to agencies that demonstrate the greatest need for federal assistance. There is a cap of $200,000 for agencies with 20 or fewer sworn officer positions, and a cap of $400,000 for agencies with at least 21 sworn officer positions. 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. [If you elect to use this format, please understand that you may not submit your application via e-mail. It must be mailed and postmarked as instructed below and must contain original signatures.]
