§10384 — Title 34 Navy | U.S. Code

Summary

Federal grant money under this program must not be used to replace state, local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs funds. The money has to add to what those governments would otherwise spend. States and local governments may count assets received through the Assets Forfeiture equitable sharing program as their non‑Federal share. Congress‑appropriated funds for tribal or BIA law enforcement can also count as the non‑Federal share. Grants to hire or rehire a career law enforcement officer are limited to $75,000 per officer unless the Attorney General grants a waiver. A "covered applicant" is a hiring‑grant applicant whose agency is below its budgeted number of sworn officers. "Budgeted strength" means the maximum number of sworn officers the agency’s budget allows. Within 180 days after May 24, 2024, the Attorney General must create uniform procedures and guidance so covered applicants remain eligible, can certify they are not replacing local funds, and face less paperwork.
