FY26 COPS Anti-Heroin Task Force Program

The FY26 COPS Anti-Heroin Task Force Program is a funding opportunity that seeks to advance public safety by making competitive grants to state law enforcement agencies. The program aims to increase the number of hours devoted to statewide task forces, increase the number of agencies participating in task forces, and enhance the analytical capability of task forces. Allowable costs under this program include salaries and fringe benefits for new law enforcement officer positions, equipment and technology, and travel costs for training and technical assistance. Some key points about this opportunity include: • The program is focused on combating the distribution of heroin, fentanyl, and carfentanil, as well as prescription opioids. • The funding is available to state law enforcement agencies in states with high per capita rates of primary treatment admissions. • The program requires statewide collaboration and the enhancement of analytical capabilities. • The funding cannot be used for treatment programs or prosecution of opioid-related activities.
