Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies that support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as violent crime, nonviolent crime, and fear of crime.
Community Policing Development (CPD) funds are used to develop the capacity of law enforcement to implement community policing strategies by providing guidance on promising practices through the development and testing of innovative strategies; building knowledge about effective practices and outcomes; and supporting new, creative approaches to preventing crime and promoting safe communities.
Program Goals
Under this solicitation, the COPS Office seeks to support projects that allow for the identification and expansion of promising practices and produces knowledge products that follow the principles of good guidance:
- Quality-driven, with an emphasis on action statements to drive promising practices and reduce variations in performance
- Evidence-based, with recommendations that are consistent with the weight of the best available evidence identified through systematic review
- Accessible, with clear language and manageable lengths that are appropriate and relevant for the law enforcement field
- Memorable, to encourage immediate actions or aid for the complex situations law enforcement professionals face
Projects Out of Scope
- Applicants that are not state, local, tribal, or territorial law enforcement agencies will not be considered.
- Training programs that focus solely on hands-on tactical training, force-on-force skill building, or other topic areas that do not directly contribute to the implementation of a de-escalation mindset among officers will not be considered.
- Applicants that exclusively seek to purchase technology without connecting it to a broader training program in de-escalation, implicit bias, or duty to intervene will not be considered.
