FY26 Community Policing Development (CPD) Microgrants

The FY26 Community Policing Development (CPD) Microgrants program is a funding opportunity provided by the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) office. The program aims to support local, state, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies in implementing innovative or evidence-based projects to improve officer and public safety. The grants will be used to fund demonstration or pilot projects in one of eleven areas, including preventing and investigating domestic terrorism, violent crime enforcement and investigations, and gang violence enforcement and investigations. Some key points to consider: * The program encourages agencies to propose partnerships with other law enforcement entities and relevant stakeholders. * Applicants should explain how their approach addresses a specific public safety need or gap in services. * The COPS Office welcomes applicant feedback on the notice of funding opportunity, the application submission process, and the application review process. * All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and any modifications or additional requirements that may be imposed by law.
