Community Policing to Combat Domestic Violence

The Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (``COPS'') announces the availability of grants to provide funding for implementing innovative community policing strategies to combat domestic violence to law enforcement agencies which partner with eligible domestic violence victim advocacy organizations. The Community Policing to Combat Domestic Violence Initiative (``COPS/DV Initiative'') permits agencies which have demonstrated a solid community policing effort and are interested in specifically turning their focus, or strengthening their already progressive focus, towards domestic violence to apply for funding in partnership with an agency which provides domestic violence victim advocacy. Eligible applicants include State, local, and Indian law enforcement agencies with demonstrated commitments to community policing. Victim service agencies and organizations, domestic violence shelters, and non-profit, nongovernmental victim service providers are encouraged to partner with police agencies to apply under this program. Projects will be funded for a one-year period. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance reference is 16.710.
