AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services is issuing a funding opportunity for the FY26 Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act Program to support the emotional and mental well-being of law enforcement officers and their families. This initiative targets state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies through three distinct funding categories designed to build, enhance, and sustain mental health and wellness services. The first category provides start-up funding for agencies without established programs, with a focus on expanding access for small, rural, and understaffed departments to implement peer support, suicide prevention, stress reduction, clinical services, and family resources. The second category supports agencies with existing programs seeking to expand or improve their current offerings, ensuring continuous innovation and scalability of wellness efforts. The third category establishes a Community of Practice Initiative to foster collaboration, peer learning, and technical assistance among current and future grantees, creating a shared network for exchanging promising practices and strengthening statewide and national capacity. Funding is available to eligible law enforcement agencies through a competitive solicitation process with the official title FY26 Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act Program and solicitation number O-COPS-2026-172553. Applications must be submitted by July 30, 2026, and the program is administered under NAICS code 624190. The COPS Office emphasizes community policing as common sense policing and uses the terms interchangeably in all program materials. Interested applicants can access detailed guidance and application instructions via the official grants.gov portal, and technical inquiries may be directed to the COPS Office’s designated point of contact through email or phone. All projects must prioritize evidence-based or promising practices that lead to measurable improvements in officer well-being and organizational culture.
