BJS seeks applications for funding for the fiscal year (FY) 2022 Methodological Research on Measuring Community- and Officer-Initiated Law Enforcement Activity. This program will assess the feasibility of aggregating information on such law enforcement (LE) activity, as captured in disparate computer-aided dispatch systems. Work funded under this cooperative agreement is expected to take 18 months, with the objectives of (1) defining a methodology for capturing analyzable data on community- and officer-initiated LE activity from nonstandard information in locally administered records systems, (2) developing a normalized, analytic database of records on such LE activity from 15 to 25 agencies as a ?proof of concept,? and (3) reporting on the feasibility of and methodology required to scale up the proof-of-concept database to a nationally representative collection.
Applications will be submitted in a two-step process, each with its own deadline:
- Step 1: Submit an SF-424 and an SF-LLL in Grants.gov?Grants.gov forms are due on July 18, 2022, by 8:59 p.m. ET.
- Step 2: Submit the full application including attachments in JustGrants.usdoj.gov.?The full JustGrants is due on July 25, 2022 by 8:59 p.m. ET.
