SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Overview

The United States Department of

Justice, Office of Community Oriented

Policing Services (COPS) has been

charged with the implementation of the

Public Safety Partnerships and

Community Policing Act of 1994 (42

U.S.C. 3976dd). Under this law, the

COPS Office provides grants,

cooperative agreements, and technical

assistance to increase police presence,

improve police and community

partnerships designed to address crime

and disorder, and enhance public safety.

The VFP, which complements the COPS

Office’s efforts to add 100,000 officers to

our nation’s streets and support

innovative community policing, is one

of a wide variety of policing programs

supported under this law.

The VFP is intended to offer

researchers, policing professionals,

community leaders, and policy analysts

an opportunity to undertake

independent research, problem

development activities, and policy

analysis designed to advance

community policing in a variety of

ways.

Two types of fellowships are

available: Community Policing Training

and Technical Assistance Fellowships

and Program/Policy Support and

Evaluation (PPSE) Fellowships.

Community Policing Training and

Technical Assistance Fellowships will

offer police practitioners and

community leaders the opportunity to

participate in a community policing

training program that is national in

scope. Fellows will work to broaden

their knowledge of a training area that

is directly related to community

policing. The experience is intended to

encourage the further development,

enhancement, or renewed exploration of

a particular training expertise that

supports community policing. Fellows

will deliver this expertise innovatively

as well as provide technical assistance

to others. Under Community Policing

Training and Technical Assistance

Fellowships, Fellows may pursue

initiatives designed to: (1) Improve

police-citizen cooperation and

communication; (2) enhance police

relationships within the criminal justice

system, as well as at all levels of local

governments; (3) increase police and

citizens’ ability to innovatively solve

community problems; (4) facilitate the

restructuring of agencies to allow the

fullest use of departmental and

community resources; (5) promote the

effective flow and use of information

both within and outside of an agency;

and/or (6) improve law enforcement

responsiveness to members of the

community.

PPSE Fellowships will offer police

practitioners, researchers, and policy

analysts the opportunity to support

innovative community policing

programs, to engage in activities to

assess the effectiveness of community

policing approaches, and to apply

policy analysis skills to support the

advancement of community policing

nationwide. The experience is intended

to encourage the further development,

enhancement, or renewed exploration of

program, policy, and evaluation issues

that support community policing. This

work will be shared with policy makers

and practitioners through a variety of

forums. Under PPSE Fellowships,

Fellows may pursue a wide variety of

initiatives. Topic areas of particular

interest to the PPSE Division include,

but are not limited to, the following

goals: (1) Improve the ability of policing

agencies and community organizations

to collect different types of information

that will aid in collaborative problem

solving efforts; (2) enhance current

knowledge of how policing agencies

evolve while implementing community

policing; (3) enhance current knowledge

about how various policing agencies

utilize information technology to

support crime reduction and

community policing efforts; and/or (4)

enhance current knowledge of or

improve the ability of policing agencies

to implement community policing and

problem solving in other ways.

Visiting Fellows will study a topic of

mutual interest to the Fellow and the

COPS Office for up to 12 months.

Residency in Washington, DC, is not

required, but visits to the COPS Office

are encouraged.

Grants or cooperative agreements

under the VFP may support salary,

fringe benefits, travel essential to the

project, and miscellaneous supplies or

equipment in support of the project.

Reasonable costs for research assistants

or support staff will also be considered.

Reasonable relocation expenses and the

cost of temporary housing also may be

permitted in cases of relocation from a

Fellow’s permanent address.

Under the VFP, the COPS Office may

award grants or enter into cooperative

agreements with individuals, public

agencies, colleges or universities,

nonprofit organizations, and profitmaking organizations willing to waive

their fees.

Receiving a grant or cooperative

agreement under the VFP will not affect

the eligibility of an agency to receive

awards under other COPS programs.

The selection process is expected to

be highly competitive.

Assistance (CFDA) reference for this program
