COPS Grant

The DOJ COPS Grant (Community Oriented Policing Services Grant) supports state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies by funding resources to advance public safety and community policing initiatives. Agencies often apply for these grants to obtain advanced training tools and technology that enhance their operational capabilities and improve officer readiness.
