Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
Omission of the required information or failure to comply
					 with these instructions may cause the proposal to be rejected for consideration
					 for funding.
(a) Format. The narrative
				  portion of the application (that is, excluding the budget) must not exceed 15
				  double-spaced pages. Additional information may be included as appendices, but
				  applicants should remain aware that the proposal review will focus on the
				  15-or-fewer-page narrative. Reviewers will not be responsible for digging
				  through appendices for information required as part of the proposal.
				  Handwritten applications are acceptable as long as they are neat, easily
				  legible and fit the above limitations.
(b) Copies. Applicants must submit two copies
				  of their applications. Each copy must be individually assembled and fastened or
				  stapled at the upper left hand corner--no special covers or binders.
(c) Content. Each section of the application
				  narrative must be completed or a notation made as to its nonapplicability to
				  the proposed project. To maintain objectivity and promote fairness in
				  competition, Division of Criminal Justice Services staff will not assist
				  applicants in preparing their specific proposals. General questions dealing
				  with clarification of requirements may be discussed with division staff.
(1) Applications will be reviewed on the
				  basis of reasonableness of cost for the accomplishments expected, as compared
				  with the proposed expenditures. Better to be modest in size and well planned
				  than grandiose and unattainable.
(2) Any equipment requested must be fully
				  justified as an essential component of the project. Allowable expenditures
				  include, but are not limited to, security devices for financially needy,
				  victim-prone residents, radios, signs, gasoline used by volunteers, consumable
				  supplies, staff salaries and patrol vehicles for the exclusive use of
				  volunteers. Patrol vehicles and other large equipment may be leased; purchase
				  of either requires full justification.
(3) Auxiliary police applications must
				  contain a crime prevention project activity such as those listed in section
				  6160.3 
				  of this Part. "Saturation patrols," "police omnipresence," "special-event
				  control," and the like do not, alone, constitute crime prevention projects
				  fundable under this act. Auxiliary police funded hereunder must work to engage
				  community participation in crime prevention activities such as those in section
				  6160.3 
				  of this Part. Either the community as a whole or targeted populations within it
				  (shoppers, schoolchildren, elderly, dwellers in geographically designated
				  areas, etc.) as well as routine auto and/or foot patrols in support of police
				  department service. All equipment requests must be fully justified in light of
				  the project activities planned, as with other proposals.
