PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

To get a grant under this law, the chief executive of a State, a local government, or an Indian tribe must send an application to the COPS Director or the BJA Director at the time, in the way, and with the information those Directors require. The application must give a clear plan for how the money will be used and how the work will meet the law’s goals; say that the plan was developed after talking with people beyond police (for example, researchers, mental health professionals, social workers, and school staff) so the work fits a broad approach to preventing school violence and is tailored to each school; promise to keep and share program and financial records the Directors reasonably ask for; and include a certification that the programs follow the law, the application is accurate, and the applicant will follow this law and other federal laws. Not later than 90 days after March 23, 2018, the COPS Director and the BJA Director each had to create guidelines explaining what must be in applications and what applicants must meet.
