It is not a complete list of all grants awarded from this assistance program, which may include additional cities, counties, or other jurisdictions and/or grants not awarded to law enforcement agencies.

We do not recommend aggregating the amounts shown here, as these grants may include both prime and sub grants. Totaling the grant amount here would result in some funding being double-counted – for example, if a county received a grant and subsequently made a sub-grant to a city within the county.

Alaska METLAKATLA INDIAN COMMUNITY
THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO HIRE A COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST WHO WILL BE KEY TO UPLIFTING THE IMAGE OF THE METLAKATLA POLICE DEPARTMENT ON ANNETTE ISLANDS RESERVE IN SOUTHEAST ALASKA. WE VIEW THIS PROJECT AS A COMPLETE 180-DEGREE SHIFT FROM THE CURRENT SITUATION.THE COMMUNITY POLICING 180 PROJECT WILL KICKSTART A CHAIN OF EVENTS THAT WILL POSITIVELY IMPACT METLAKATLA FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

Arizona ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ARE INCREASINGLY ADOPTING SCENARIO-BASED TRAINING (SBT) TO ENHANCE THE TRANSFER OF TRAINING BY IMMERSING OFFICERS IN REALISTIC SIMULATIONS THAT DEVELOP DECISION-MAKING, TACTICAL, AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS. DESPITE ITS PROMISE, SBT PRESENTS SEVERAL LIMITATIONS: (I) LOGISTICAL CHALLENGES RELATED TO SPACE, TIME, AND PERSONNEL; (II) EXCESSIVE COMPLEXITY FOR NOVICE LEARNERS; AND (III) LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES FOR INSTRUCTORS TO ISOLATE AND REFINE SPECIFIC TECHNICAL SKILLS. THIS PROJECT PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUITE OF NATIONAL TRAINING TOOLS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE MORE EFFECTIVE AND SCALABLE IMPLEMENTATION OF SBT IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES, THE TOOLS WILL FOCUS ON ENHANCING INSTRUCTOR CAPABILITIES THROUGH TWO EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES: REPRESENTATIVE LEARNING DESIGN (RLD) AND THE CONSTRAINTS-LED APPROACH (CLA). RLD OFFERS A THEORETICAL FOUNDATION FOR DESIGNING TRAINING ENVIRONMENTS THAT REPLICATE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF REAL-WORLD ENCOUNTERS TO OPTIMIZE LEARNING, WHILE EXCLUDING NON-ESSENTIAL FEATURES. CLA EQUIPS INSTRUCTORS WITH STRATEGIES TO DEVELOP SPECIFIC SKILLS BY MANIPULATING CONSTRAINTS SUCH AS SPACE, TIME, AND RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. PROJECT DELIVERABLES WILL INCLUDE ONLINE TOOLS, VIDEO CONTENT, AND INTERACTIVE LEARNING MODULES CENTERED ON SHAPING TRAINING ENVIRONMENTS USING RLD AND CLA. CORE INSTRUCTIONAL COMPETENCIES ADDRESSED WILL INCLUDE DESIGNING AND ADAPTING SCENARIOS, TRACKING LEARNER PROGRESS, CALIBRATING DIFFICULTY, CUEING AND FEEDBACK TECHNIQUES, AND FOSTERING REFLECTIVE AND INQUIRY-BASED COACHING PRACTICES. ALL MATERIALS WILL BE DISSEMINATED VIA AN INTERACTIVE WEBSITE, PROMOTED THROUGH NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT NETWORKS, AND MADE AVAILABLE ON THE COPS OFFICE TRAINING PORTAL. IMPORTANTLY, THIS TRAINING WILL EMPHASIZE "HOW TO COACH" WITHIN SBT ENVIRONMENTS (SUCH AS ADJUSTING SCENARIOS FOR NEW LEARNERS OR TAILORING FEEDBACK BASED ON PERFORMANCE), THUS COMPLEMENTING EXISTING SBT PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON WHAT TO COACH, LIKE THE ALERRT LEVEL I TRAIN-THE-TRAINER COURSE. THE PROPOSED PROJECT DIRECTLY ADDRESSES CPD PRIORITIES BY ENHANCING ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY, PROMOTING PROMISING PRACTICES IN COMMUNITY-FOCUSED TRAINING, AND IMPROVING THE PUBLIC IMAGE OF POLICING THROUGH MORE ADAPTIVE, HUMAN-CENTERED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES. 		10/1/2025 9/30/2027 Prime $491,864.00
Arizona ARIZONA CHIEFS OF POLICE
THE ARIZONA ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE (AACOP) HAS SUCCESSFULLY ADMINISTERED THE ARIZONA LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCREDITATION PROGRAM (ALEAP) SINCE 2018, OFFERING ARIZONA LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES A COST-EFFECTIVE, LOCALLY GOVERNED PATH TO ACCREDITATION. OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, ALEAP HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY, NOW SERVING OVER 50 AGENCIES STATEWIDE. HOWEVER, MANY SMALL, RURAL, AND TRIBAL AGENCIES REMAIN UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE DUE TO FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS, LIMITED STAFFING, OR UNIQUE OPERATIONAL NEEDS. THIS GRANT PROGRAM WILL DIRECTLY ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE INITIATIVE TO EXPAND ACCREDITATION ACCESS, IMPROVE PROGRAM SUSTAINABILITY, AND ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES ACROSS ARIZONA. AT THE HEART OF THIS EFFORT IS THE CREATION OF A ACCREDITATION SUPPORT COORDINATOR POSITION. A MAJOR COMPONENT OF THIS PROPOSAL IS THE LAUNCH OF THE ALEAP MICROGRANT PROGRAM, DESIGNED TO REMOVE FINANCIAL BARRIERS FOR UP TO 20 SMALL AND RURAL AGENCIES. THESE MICROGRANTS WILL OFFSET CRITICAL EXPENSES INCLUDING ACCREDITATION ENROLLMENT FEES, ACQUISITION OF COMPREHENSIVE ARIZONA-SPECIFIC POLICY MANUALS, ACCREDITATION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE (POWERDMS), AND INDIVIDUALIZED CONSULTING SUPPORT FROM ALEAP-CERTIFIED PROFESSIONALS. IN ADDITION, ALEAP WILL ESTABLISH A SPECIALIZED WORKING GROUP TO DEVELOP A SECOND-TIER ACCREDITATION PROGRAM TAILORED TO THE UNIQUE DUTIES OF SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENTS, INCLUDING JAIL OPERATIONS, COURT SECURITY, AND SEARCH AND RESCUE AREAS NOT FULLY ADDRESSED BY CURRENT ACCREDITATION STANDARDS. A ROBUST OUTREACH STRATEGY WILL ENGAGE TRIBAL AND RURAL AGENCIES THROUGH REGIONAL WORKSHOPS, TARGETED DIGITAL CAMPAIGNS, AND A MENTORSHIP NETWORK CONNECTING ACCREDITED AGENCIES WITH THOSE PURSUING ACCREDITATION. ALEAP WILL ALSO ENHANCE COMMUNICATIONS WITH EXPANDED MARKETING EFFORTS, INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS, AND DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WITH ARIZONA'S DIVERSE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY. 		10/1/2025 9/30/2027 Prime $299,999.00

Santa Monica, California CITY OF SANTA MONICA
THE USE OF GRANT FUNDING WILL BE USED FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION AND EXPANSION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE DE-ESCALATION TRAINING PROGRAMS WITHIN THE SANTA MONICA POLICE DEPARTMENT (SMPD). IN RECENT YEARS, HEIGHTENED PUBLIC SCRUTINY AND HIGH-PROFILE INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE USE OF FORCE HAVE UNDERSCORED THE CRITICAL NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE CONFLICT RESOLUTION STRATEGIES.

BY PRIORITIZING THESE NON-LETHAL TECHNIQUES, SMPD CAN REDUCE THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF FORCE USED, IMPROVE COMMUNITY TRUST, AND INCREASE OFFICER AND CIVILIAN SAFETY. THIS PROPOSAL OUTLINES THE FRAMEWORK FOR A SCALABLE, EVIDENCE-BASED TRAINING INITIATIVE AIMED AT INTEGRATING DE-ESCALATION PRACTICES, REFERRALS, AND MENTAL HEALTH CRISES INTO THE DAILY OPERATIONS OF SMPD. 		10/1/2025 9/30/2027 Prime $486,760.00
Stockton, California CITY OF STOCKTON
THE STOCKTON POLICE DEPARTMENT (SPD) AND SAN JOAQUIN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (SJBH) WILL INCREASE AVAILABILITY OF THEIR INTEGRATING COMMUNICATION ASSESSMENT AND TACTICS (ICAT) COURSE, A COURSE DEVELOPED WITH A FOCUS ON DE-ESCALATION AND UTILIZING TACTICAL DECISION MAKING TO SLOW INCIDENTS DOWN.

Sacramento, California CITY OF SACRAMENTO
WITH THE FY25 SAFER OUTCOMES GRANT AWARD, THE SACRAMENTO POLICE DEPARTMENT (SPD) WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ON ITS COMMITMENTS OF BOTH ENHANCING TRAINING FOR ITS OFFICERS AND INCREASING THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INNOVATIVE DRIVR PROGRAM: DE-ESCALATION AND RESULTS IN VIRTUAL REALITY. THROUGH THIS FUNDING OPPORTUNITY, SPD WILL DRAMATICALLY EXPAND ITS VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING AVAILABILITY TO ITS OFFICERS AND CREATE AN INTERACTIVE AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO EXPERIENCE THE CHALLENGES, OBSTACLES, AND DECISION POINTS THAT THE OFFICERS WHO SERVE THEM FACE EVERY DAY. PROJECT ACTIVITIES ARE TAILORED TO THE APPROPRIATE AUDIENCES: OFFICERS WILL BE GIVEN STATE-OF-THE-ART VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING SCENARIOS AT INCREASED INTERVALS TO ENSURE EXPOSURE TO A VARIETY OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TYPES OF CALLS FOR SERVICE INCLUDING ACTIVE SHOOTERS, QUICK RESPONSE DRILLS, AND DE-ESCALATING ENCOUNTERS WITH THOSE WHO HAVE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES; COMMUNITY MEMBERS WILL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN THE SAME TYPE OF REAL-WORLD SCENARIOS THAT TEST THEIR ABILITIES AND IMPACT NOT JUST THEIR PERCEPTIONS OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT OFFICERS FIND THEMSELVES IN BUT PROVIDE A DIRECT LINK BETWEEN SPD AND THEMSELVES THAT CAN BE CONSTRUCTIVE. FUNDING WILL ALSO PROVIDE FOR A PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT TO BE BROUGHT ON TO TRACK THE PROGRAM, CONDUCT RESEARCH, AND HELP REVISE THE PROGRAM AS IT DEVELOPS. THE DRIVR PROGRAM WOULD HAVE THREE PRIMARY IMPACTS FOR THE DEPARTMENT AND THE COMMUNITY. FIRST, IT WOULD PROVIDE TRAINING IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE A LOGISTICAL AND COSTLY BURDEN TO ACHIEVE AS NO ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL OR PHYSICAL STRUCTURES WOULD BE NEEDED. SECOND, EXPERIENCE SHOWS THAT THE MORE VETERAN AN OFFICER IS, THE LESS LIKELY THEY ARE TO USE FORCE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. THE DRIVR PROGRAM CAN SPEED UP THAT PROCESS FOR YOUNGER OFFICERS BY HELPING THEM ACQUIRE THE MUSCLE MEMORY THAT BECOMES CRITICAL IN THE PROPER HANDLING OF INTENSE, CHALLENGING SITUATIONS. THIRD, THE DRIVR PROGRAM WILL HELP THE DEPARTMENT BETTER CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AND HELP IT DEVELOP A SHARED UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHALLENGES LAW ENFORCEMENT FACES. COMMUNITY MEMBERS WILL BE ALLOWED TO GO THROUGH REAL-WORLD SCENARIOS AND GET AN AUTHENTIC FEEL FOR THE TYPES OF SITUATIONS THAT OFFICERS NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS. 		10/1/2025 9/30/2027 Prime $500,000.00
