CASF GRANT REMINDER
As a reminder to all perspective agencies seeking initial accreditation, applications for the 2005 grants from the CALEA Agency Support Fund (CASF) must be submitted between September 1 and December 31, 2004. Grants are available to qualified law enforcement, and public safety communications agencies, as well as public safety training academies.
These grants are primarily directed at agencies with 50 or less full-time employees at the time of application that, without the grant, would not otherwise be able to enter the accreditation program. Agencies applying for consideration must: (1) be seeking initial accreditation; and, (2) be legally constituted state, province, county, or local governmental entities with a mandated responsibility to enforce laws, provide public safety communications services or provide public safety training.
Under this program, eligible agencies will receive a grant for the administrative portion of their initial accreditation fees. Agencies selected to receive a grant will be required to pay an application fee of $250 for law enforcement agencies and $200 for public safety communications agencies and public safety training academies. The agency must also be prepared to cover the estimated cost of their on-site assessment.
The Commission staff has developed a grant application package that can be ordered by calling Planning and Research Coordinator, Reginald Newell, at (800) 368-3757, extension 39. This package can also be downloaded from the CALEA Online website, www.calea.org, under the News & Events section.
