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 for the hiring or

rehiring of law enforcement officers to

engage in community policing. The

COPS Universal Hiring Program permits

interested agencies to supplement their

current sworn forces or to establish a

new policing agency, through grants for

up to three years. All policing agencies,

as well as jurisdictions considering

establishing new policing agencies, are

eligible to apply for this program. In

addition, policing agencies serving

specialized jurisdictions, such as transit,

housing, college, school, natural

resources, and others, are eligible to

apply for this program. There are three

application deadlines for this program:

March 14, 1997; June 13, 1997; and

August 1, 1997. Departments may apply

before any one of the deadlines and

equal consideration will be given to all

applications submitted by he same

deadlines.

All applicants will be asked to

provide basic community policing and

planning information for their area of

jurisdiction. In addition, new applicants

serving jurisdictions of 50,000 and over,

as well as all those jurisdictions seeking

to establish a department and agencies

serving specialized jurisdictions (such

as transit, housing, college, school, or

natural resources), will be asked to

provide additional information relating

to the applicant’s community policing

plan, local community policing

initiatives and strategies, local

community support for the applicant’s

community policing plan, and plans for

retaining the officers at the end of the

grant period. In addition to the

requested community policing

information, all applicants will be asked

to submit a streamlined budget

summary containing information

relating to planned hiring levels, salary

and fringe benefits, and decreasing

federal share requirements. The COPS

Universal Hiring Program Application

offers two alternative budget worksheets

which are tailored to the number of

officers requested by each applicant;

applicants requesting five or fewer

officers will complete one budget

worksheet for each officer, while

applicants requesting more than five

officers will complete a single budget

worksheet based on the average yearly

cost per officer.

Grants will be made for up to 75

percent of the total entry-level salary

and benefits of each officer over three

years, up to a maximum of $75,000 per

officer, with the remainder to be paid by

state or local funds. Waivers of the nonfederal matching requirement may be

requested under this program, but will

be granted only upon a showing of

extraordinary fiscal hardship. Grant

funds may be used only for entry-level

salaries and benefits. Funding will begin

once the new officers have been hired
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 18 / Tuesday, January 28, 1997 / Notices 4079

or on the date of the award, whichever

is later, and will be paid over the course

of the grant.

In hiring new officers with a COPS

Universal Hiring Program grant,

grantees must follow standard local

recruitment and selection procedures.

All personnel hired under this program

will be required to be trained in

community policing. In addition, all

personnel hired under this program

must be in addition to, and not in lieu

of, other hiring plans of the grantees.

An award under the COPS Universal

Hiring Program will not affect the

eligibility of an agency for a grant under

any other COPS program.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic

Assistance reference number for this program

is 16.710.

Dated: January 17, 1997.
