ABOUT THE CRI PROGRAM

The **Collaborative Reform Initiative (CRI) Program** encompasses three components offering expert services to state, local, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies, ranging in scope and complexity at the voluntary request of agencies. This continuum of services is designed to build trust between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve; improve operational efficiencies and effectiveness; enhance officer safety and wellness; and develop and disseminate evidence-based, promising, and innovative public safety practices.

The three programs are:

Collaborative Reform Initiative Technical Assistance Center (CRI-TAC)
	Critical Response
	Organizational Assessment


CRI PROGRAM SOLICITATION

The **Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Collaborative Reform Initiative Program** is seeking applications for the Critical Response and Organizational Assessment components of the Collaborative Reform Initiative. This solicitation is not seeking applicants for the operation of the Collaborative Reform Initiative Technical Assistance Center (CRI-TAC).

The COPS Office is seeking applications from eligible organizations that can support either Critical Response or Organizational Assessment. The COPS Office will make two awards from this solicitation, one for Organizational Assessment and the other for Critical Response. These programs are distinct, and applicants must clearly identify which program they are applying for. Applicants may submit proposals for both programs; however, separate proposals will need to be submitted for each program. Furthermore, applicants should be aware that they are unlikely to be selected for both programs.


Who is Eligible?

**For Profit (Commercial) Organizations**

**Non-Profit Organizations**

**Institutions of Higher Education**


Funding

There is **approximately $5.75 million** in funding available through the FY 2023 CRI solicitation. Each award is one year (12 months) in duration. The COPS Office is looking to make the following two competitive awards:

Organizational Assessment - $3,500,000
	Critical Response - $2,250,000There is no local match.
