SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Overview

The Violent Crime Control and Law

Enforcement Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–

322) authorizes the Department of

Justice to make grants to increase

deployment of law enforcement officers

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 24, 2000 / Notices 33579

devoted to community policing on the

streets and rural routes in this nation.

COPS MORE 2000 is designed to

expand the time available for

community policing by current law

enforcement officers, rather than fund

the hiring or rehiring of additional law

enforcement officers.

COPS MORE 2000 permits eligible

agencies to seek funding to hire new,

additional civilian support positions. To

qualify for funding, civilian positions

must be hired after the COPS MORE

2000 grant award start date and must

increase the level of locally-funded

civilian positions budgeted irrespective

of the grant.

As a result of this funding, the

number of officers redeployed by

agencies in community policing must be

equal to or greater than the number of

officers that would result from grants of

the same amount for hiring new officers.

Application Kits will be available after

May 30, 2000. Completed Applications

Kits must be received by the COPS

Office by July 14, 2000. Applications

received postmarked on or before June

30, 2000 will be given priority

consideration.

Applicants must provide a thorough

explanation of how the proposed

redeployment funds will actually result

in the required increase in the number

of officers deployed in community

policing. Additionally, the applicant

must specify within the COPS MORE

2000 Application a plan for retaining

the additional civilian positions and

continuing the increased level of

redeployment into community policing

with state or local funds following the

conclusions of COPS MORE 2000

funding. Technical assistance with the

development of community policing

plans will be provided to jurisdictions

in need of such assistance. Grants will

be made for up to 75 percent of the cost

of the civilian salaries up to $25,000 for

one year, with the remainder to be paid

by state or local funds. Waivers of the

non-federal share will be considered

upon a showing of severe fiscal distress.

COPS redeployment funds may not be

used to replace funds that eligible

agencies otherwise would have devoted

to civilian hiring.

An award under COPS MORE 2000

will not affect the eligibility of an

agency’s application for a grant under

any other COPS program.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance (CFDA) reference for this program

is 16.710.
