Description
The Executive Office of Public Safety and Security is offering grants to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) and Regional Emergency Communication Centers (RECCs) to support the provision of enhanced 911 services. The grants will be awarded based on a formula that weighs both 911 call volume and population served. The funding can be used for various purposes, including personnel costs, equipment purchases, and debt service. The grants are available to primary PSAPs, regional PSAPs, regional secondary PSAPs, and RECCs. Some of the key features of the grant program include:
• Support grant awards will be disbursed according to a formula that weighs both 911 call volume and population served
• Incentive grant funding will be available for regional PSAPs and RECCs
• Funding can be used for personnel costs, equipment purchases, and debt service
• Grantees must incorporate the Commonwealth's Environmental Justice principles into their applications
• The grant program is subject to change, with State 911 Commission approval, with each funding cycle
