The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office)'s mission is to advance the practice of community policing by state, local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies through information and grant resources. This mission is aligned with its role within the U.S. Department of Justice to support law enforcement agencies in building stronger community relationships and enhancing public safety.
The FY24 Community Policing Development (CPD) Microgrants program seeks to fund local, state, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies. The grants are aimed at supporting demonstration or pilot projects that propose innovative strategies to enhance crime fighting, community engagement, problem solving, or organizational transformations that bolster community policing efforts.
