The goal of this program is to assist state, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies in developing or enhancing victim specialist programs that connect victims and families to much-needed services.
Awards will be made under four purpose areas based on the type of law enforcement agency (small,
mid-size, large, or tribal).
Priority will be given to applicants that:
(1) address specific challenges that rural communities face, (2) serve high-poverty areas or persistent-poverty counties, or (3) offer enhancements to public safety in economically distressed communities (Qualified Opportunity Zones).
OVC will conduct a pre-application webinar on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, from 1:00 p.m.
to 2:00 p.m.
