Grants Management

The planned updates to the COPS Grant Management System called NexGen have officially been launched. As mentioned in correspondence received in November 2012 and most recently in mid-March 2013, these system enhancements will improve each agency’s ability to manage grants via the COPS Agency Portal. An Agency Portal Grants Management User Manual has been developed. This manual will provide your agency with all of the information needed to successfully navigate the new system. You may read more about the enhanced NexGen COPS Grant Management System and access the Agency Portal Grants Management User Manual below. If you have any questions or require assistance, you may reach out to the COPS Office Response Center or your Grant Program Specialist at 1.800.421.6770.

FY 2013 Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS)
Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) is now closed. The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is offering funding through Purpose Area #1: Tribal Resources Grant Program (TRGP) Hiring and Equipment/Training. While COPS’s FY 2013 appropriation is not yet finalized, we anticipate funding to be made available through Tribal grant programs administered by COPS to improve public safety and enhance community policing in federally recognized Tribal jurisdictions with established law enforcement agencies. Purpose Area #1 is designed to expand the implementation of community policing and meet the most serious needs of law enforcement in Tribal Nations through a broadened comprehensive program. The funding can be used to hire or re-hire career law enforcement officers and Village Public Safety Officers as well as procure basic equipment and training to assist in the initiation or enhancement of Tribal community policing efforts. FY 2013 CTAS reflects improvements and refinements from earlier versions based on your feedback during Tribal consultations and listening sessions, from a specially developed assessment tool about the application experience, and from written comments from applicants and grantees.
