Overview
PLEASE NOTE: This program is not accepting applications for funding at this time.
Through the Byrne SCIP funding opportunity for municipal law enforcement, OGR will make funds available for local police departments to prevent or reduce acts of gun violence through the implementation of evidence-based strategies and promising programming. This grant emphasizes addressing individuals currently at risk of gun violence, with a specific focus on prevention and intervention rather than supporting enforcement projects or responsive or investigative programs.
Programs/activities exclusively focused on responding to crimes in progress or that have already been committed are not considered crisis intervention and are not eligible for funding.
This program is made available through funding awarded through the federal Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program, as authorized by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022.
Eligibility
Only a municipal law enforcement department from a Massachusetts municipality (local unit of government) is eligible to apply. A police department may include or subaward grant funds to the same municipality's fire department or public school(s) or a nonprofit organization.
Separate programs are offered to support gun violence intervention and prevention efforts by state agencies and for a statewide research partner.
