Tribal Resources Grant Program (TRGP)
The Tribal Resources Grant Program (TRGP) is Now Closed! Thank you for your interest in the COPS Tribal Resources Grant Program 2009 (TRGP 2009). The application was open through April 10, 2009, and is now closed. In the coming weeks, the COPS Office will be reviewing applications and all applicants will be notified whether they will receive TRGP grant funding on or before September 30, 2009.
The TRGP 2009 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 2009 to supplement their existing police services. Requests under this program must reflect otherwise unfunded needs. There is no local match requirement for the TRGP 2009 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 21 or more sworn officer positions.
To be considered for funding, completed applications must be submitted on-line no later than April 10, 2009. You must apply on-line at www.Grants.gov. To view the application and apply on-line, go to
https://apply07.grants.gov/apply/forms_apps_idx.html. The opportunity code for this program is COPS-TRGP-2009-1.
