The funding opportunity supports the broader mission of making America safer by equipping officers with the most current tools and knowledge to prevent alcohol- and drug-related crashes and fatalities. Proposals must be submitted by August 31, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 24, 2026, under the identifier O-COPS-2026-172655. This is a federal opportunity open to eligible applicants without set-asides, and all responses should be directed through the official grants portal. Questions or inquiries should be directed to the COPS Office’s designated point of contact via email at askcopsrc@usdoj.gov or by phone at 800-421-6770. The performance location is not specified, indicating that work may be conducted remotely or at the recipient’s discretion, consistent with program objectives.
