Opportunity Information: Apply for O COPS 2024 172066

The FY24 Community Policing Development (CPD) Law Enforcement Products and Resources Solicitation is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office). The COPS Office focuses on strengthening community policing across state, local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement by providing practical guidance, information, and grant support. This specific program is designed to help law enforcement agencies and their partners expand their ability to carry out community policing strategies by building and sharing knowledge about what works, testing innovative approaches, and translating promising practices into usable resources.

Under this FY 2024 CPD Law Enforcement Products and Resources program, funding is aimed at creating law enforcement products and resources that can be distributed nationally. The emphasis is on producing tools that offer creative and actionable ideas to support community policing, whether that means improving crime-fighting strategies, strengthening community engagement, advancing problem-solving methods, or promoting organizational changes inside agencies that make community policing more effective. In practical terms, projects funded through this solicitation are expected to result in resources that other agencies across the country can adopt or adapt, rather than materials meant for a single local audience.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means there will be substantial involvement or collaboration with the federal agency during the project period compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number O-COPS-2024-172066 and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 16.710, within the Law, Justice, and Legal Services activity category.

Eligibility is broad and includes for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, community groups, and faith-based organizations. This wide eligibility signals that the COPS Office is open to a range of applicants who can develop high-quality, scalable products for the law enforcement field, including organizations with experience in training development, research translation, practitioner toolkits, technical assistance materials, and other nationally relevant resources that support community policing.

The maximum funding per award (award ceiling) is $500,000, and the COPS Office anticipated making about 10 awards under this solicitation. The opportunity was created on April 11, 2024, with an original application closing date of May 28, 2024.
