### 2016 COPS Office Solicitations

**COPS Hiring Program (CHP)** – 2016 CHP grants provide 75 percent of the approved  entry-level salaries and fringe benefits of each newly hired or rehired  full-time officer, up to $125,000 per officer position, over the three-year  (36-month) grant period. CHP grants may be used on or after the official grant  award start date to (1) hire new officers (including filling existing officer  vacancies that are no longer funded in an agency’s budget); (2) rehire officers  already laid off by any jurisdiction as a result of state, local, or Bureau of  Indian Affairs (BIA) budget reductions unrelated to the receipt of grant  funding; and/or (3) rehire officers scheduled to be laid off by the grantee’s  jurisdiction on a specific future date as a result of state, local, or BIA  budget reductions unrelated to the receipt of grant funding.

**Community  Policing Development (CPD)** – Community Policing Development (CPD) funds are used to advance the practice  of community policing in law enforcement agencies through training and  technical assistance, demonstration projects, the development of innovative  community policing strategies, applied research, guidebooks, and best practices  that are national in scope and responsive to the solicitation requirements. The  2016 CPD program will fund projects that influence practice, promote awareness,  or increase skills and abilities related to various topic areas listed in the  solicitation. 

**COPS  Anti-Methamphetamine Program (CAMP)** – The COPS Office will award competitive grants to state  law enforcement agencies in states with high seizures of precursor chemicals,  finished methamphetamine laboratories, and laboratory dump seizures. Funds will  be used for investigative purposes to locate or investigate illicit activities  including precursor diversion, laboratories, or methamphetamine traffickers.  Since 1998, the COPS Office has received more than $500 million in  methamphetamine funding to make grant awards to combat the spread of  methamphetamine nationwide as well as to provide funding to the Drug  Enforcement Administration (DEA) for meth lab cleanup activities.

**Anti-Heroin Task Force (AHTF)** – The DEA’s 2013 National Drug  Threat Assessment Summary noted the troubling trend of increases in the numbers  of heroin seizures and overdose deaths caused by heroin in recent years. The  COPS Office will make competitive grants to state law enforcement agencies in  states with high per-capita levels of primary treatment admissions for both  heroin and other opioids. These funds will be used for drug enforcement  including investigations and activities related to the distribution of heroin  or unlawful diversion and distribution of prescription opioids.
