🛡️ MotoShot & Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) Grant Alignment

Enhancing Law Enforcement Crisis Response Training
Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) Local Solicitation

✅ PURPOSE
MotoShot provides dynamic, lifelike training systems that simulate unpredictable, high-stress scenarios to improve officer decision-making, threat recognition, and response-critical in behavioral health and firearm-related crises.

🎯 GENERAL GRANT ALIGNMENT SUMMARY – Since each state administers its SCIP funding with individual priorities and eligibility criteria, agencies should consult their state’s specific program guidelines to determine allowable uses and alignment.

SCIP Priority Area
Priority Area #1: Equip communities with training & resources to respond to behavioral health crisis
MotoShot Alignment
MotoShot trains officers in split-second judgment and threat differentiation during high-stress encounters with individuals in crisis.

Objective 1.3: Support behavioral health responses in local jurisdictions
MotoShot Alignment
MotoShot strengthens CIT and scenario-based training by providing realistic simulations that improve verbal de-escalation strategies.

Objective 1.4: Embed advocates/peer navigators within justice systems
MotoShot Alignment
The MotoShot Robot directly supports this by embedding advocates/peer navigators within the training.
