• Small local and Tribal police departments: Agencies with fewer than 175 officers become eligible for grants that pay for de-escalation, victim-centered domestic violence training, active-shooter and rescue training, and overtime costs tied to training.
• Individual officers and recruits: Grants can fund signing bonuses, retention bonuses up to 20% of salary with eligibility rules, and graduate stipends for mental-health or social-work studies up to $10,000. Recipients also get access to trauma-informed care, peer support, and telehealth.
• Federal oversight and accountability: The program requires Inspector General audits, public disclosure of signing and retention bonuses within 60 days, mandatory reimbursements for improper awards, annual program evaluations, and steps to avoid duplicate DOJ grants.
