COPS Hiring Recovery Program (CHRP) Application
COPS Application Attachment to SF-424
The COPS Hiring Recovery Program(CHRP) is a competitive grant program that provides funding directly
to law enforcement agencies having primary law enforcement authority to create and preserve jobs and to
increase their community policing capacity and crime-prevention efforts. CHRP funding is available to hire
full-time career law enforcement officers. There is no local matching requirement,but grant funding will be
based on your agency's current entry-level salaries and benefits for sworn officer positions. Any additional
costs for higher salaries and benefits for positions hired under the CHRP grant must be paid for by the
grantee agency.
In preparing your agency's grant application,please be advised that grantees are prohibited from reducing
state, local, or tribal funding for sworn officer positions as a direct result of applying for and/or receiving this
CHRP grant. Instead,this program is intended to supplement the amount of state, local,or tribal funding that
your agency would otherwise be able to budget for sworn officer positions.
In addition, at the conclusion of federal funding, grantees must retain all sworn officer positions awarded
under the CHRP grant. The retained CHRP-funded positions should be added to your agency's law
enforcement budget with state and/or local funds,over and above the number of locally-funded sworn officer
positions that would have existed in the absence of the grant.
To the extent possible, all data should come from a publicly verifiable source, and documentation may be
requested by the COPS Office. This information will be used to evaluate your jurisdiction's need for federal
assistance to address its public safety needs and to preserve and create jobs.

SECTION 3: CHRP PROGRAM REQUEST
Your agency may apply for COPS funds to use on or after the official grant award start date to hire new,
additional officer positions(including filling existing unfunded vacancies)or rehire officers who have
already been laid off,or are currently scheduled to be laid off on a future date, as a result of state,local or
tribal budget reductions. Please base your application request on your agency's current anticipated needs for
funding in these primary categories. Please also be mindful of the initial three-year grant period and your
agency's ability to fill and retain the officer positions awarded,while following your agency's established
hiring policies and procedures.
As described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide, it is imperative that applicants understand that the
COPS statute nonsupplanting requirement mandates that CHRP funds may be used only to supplement
(increase)a grantee's law enforcement budget for sworn officer positions and may not supplant(replace)
state, local,or tribal funds that a grantee otherwise would have spent on officer positions if it had not
received a CHRP award. This means that if your agency plans to:
(a) Hire new officer positions(including filling existing officer vacancies that are no longer funded in
your agency's budget): It must hire these additional positions on or after the official grant award start
date, above its current budgeted(funded)level of sworn officer positions,and otherwise comply with
the nonsupplanting requirement as described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide and Grant
Owner's Manual;
(b) Rehire officers who have already been laid off(at the time of application)as a result of state, local,
or tribal budget cuts: It must rehire the officers on or after the official grant award start date,maintain
documentation showing the date(s)that the positions were laid off and rehired, and otherwise comply
with the nonsupplanting requirement as described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide and Grant
Owner's Manual;
(c)Rehire officers who are(at the time of application) currently scheduled to be laid off on a future date
as a result of state, local, or tribal budget cuts: It must continue to fund the officers with its own funds
from the grant award start date until the date of the scheduled lay-off(for example, if the CHRP award
start date is September 1 and the lay-off is scheduled for November 1, then the CHRP funds may not be
used to fund the officers until November 1,the date of the scheduled lay-of�, identify the number and
date(s)of the scheduled lay-off(s) in this application [see below],maintain documentation showing the
date(s)and reason(s) for the lay-off, and otherwise comply with the nonsupplanting requirement as
described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide and Grant Owner's Manual. [Please note that as
long as your agency can document the date that the lay-off(s)would occur if the CHRP funds were not
available,it may transfer the officers to the CHRP funding on or immediately after the date of the lay-
off without forxnally completing the administrative steps associated with a lay-off for each individual
officer.]
Documentation that may be used to prove that scheduled lay-offs are occurring for local economic
reasons that are unrelated to the availability of CHRP grant funds may include(but are not limited to)
council or departmental meeting minutes,memoranda,notices,or orders discussing the lay-offs; notices
provided to the individual officers regarding the date(s) of the lay-offs; and/or budget documents
ordering departmental and/or jurisdiction-wide budget cuts. These records must be maintained with
your agency's CHRP grant records during the grant period and for three years following the official
closeout of the CHRP grant in the event of an audit,monitoring, or other evaluation of your grant
compliance.
TX08403
When completing the questions below,please base your responses on your agency's current(at the time of
application)needs for funding in the three hiring categories(new hires,rehires of previously laid off officers,
and rehiring officers who are scheduled to be laid off on a specific future date). CHRP grant awards will be
made for officer positions requested in each of these three categories and recipients of CHRP awards are
required to use awarded funds for the specific categories awarded.
During the review of your agency's application, if the COPS Office reduces the number of positions you
requested in the application,the COPS Office may contact you to obtain a new number of officer positions
requested in each category.
How many CHRP sworn officer positions is your agency requesting(total)? 5
How many of the positions will be:
(a) To hire new,additional officer positions (including to fill existing vacancies that are no longer
funded in your agency's budget)?
5
(b) To rehire officers who have already been laid off(at the time of application)as a result of state,
local, or tribal budget reductions?
0
(c) To rehire officers who are(at the time of application)currently scheduled to be laid off on a specific
future date as a result of state, local, or tribal budget reductions?

package. Any additional(higher than entry-level) salary and benefits expenses for rehired
officers must be paid by your agency.
Certification Re a� rdin�Scheduled Lay-Offs•
If your agency plans to use CHRP funds to rehire officers who are currently scheduled to be laid
off on a future date (under category c above),please certify(by checking the appropriate boxes)to
the following:
TX08403
Certification:
� My agency has and will maintain documentation showing the date(s)of the scheduled lay-off(s)
and demonstrating that the scheduled lay-off(s)is/are occurring for fiscal reasons that are
unrelated to the availability or receipt of CHRP grant funds (as described above).
� My agency will use its own funds to continue funding these officers until the scheduled date(s)
of the lay-off(s) and will use CHRP funds to rehire these officers only on or after the scheduled
date of the lay-off(s).
� My agency recognizes that the CHRP program provides funding based on our entry-level salary
and benefits package and that any additional costs for rehired officers beyond entry-level are our
responsibility to pay with other sources of funding.
If an applicant receives an award, and after receiving the awards needs to change the hiring categories, it
must request a post-award grant modification to change the categories of hiring and receive prior approval
before spending CHRP funding by calling the COPS Office Response Center at 1-800-421-6770.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act(Recovery Act)requires grantees to report their financial and
prograirunatic progress within 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The Recovery Act reporting
requirements are in addition to quarterly financial status report and quarterly programmatic progress report
requirements. The COPS Office plans to request information from grantees consistent with Section 1512 of
the Recovery Act,including collecting information on the number of new jobs created and the number of
jobs preserved using CHRP funding. Awarded agencies will be required to submit information in a timely
manner as a condition of the award. The COPS Office is then required to post data from grantee reports to
Recovery.gov. Please be advised that the submission of programmatic and financial reports on a timely basis
is a significant condition of the CHRP grant and a violation of the grant requirement may result in
termination of grant funding or other remedies.
In order to aid in compliance with the reporting requirements,awarded agencies should be prepared to track
and report CHRP funding separately from other funding sources(including other COPS and federal grants)to
ensure accurate financial and programmatic reporting on a timely basis. Your agency should ensure that you
have financial internal controls in place to monitor the use of CHRP funding and ensure that its use is
consistent with grant terms and conditions. Good practices in this area would include written accounting
practices, an accounting system that tracks all drawdowns and grant expenditures,and the ability to track
when each CHRP position funded is filled or vacant(including if the position was for a new hire or a re-hire).

Community Policing Plan Narrative(please limit to 2,000 characters)
Please describe your agency's implementation plan for this program(if awarded),with specific reference to
each of the following elements of community policing: (a)community partnerships and support, including
consultation with community groups,private agencies,and/or other public agencies; (b)related governmental
and community initiatives that complement your agency's proposed use of CHRP funding; and(c)
organizational transformation—how your agency will use these fiznds,if awarded,to reorient its mission to
community policing or enhance its involvement in and commitment to community policing. This narrative
will not be scored for selection purposes but serves, along with the previous questions, as your agency's
community policing plan. Your organization may be audited or monitored to ensure that it is initiating or
enhancing community policing in accordance with this plan. The COPS Office may also use this information
to understand the needs of the field,and potentially provide for training,technical assistance,problem
solving and community policing implementation tools.
If your organization receives this CHRP grant funding,these responses will be considered as your
organization's community policing plan. We understand that your community policing needs may change
during the life of your CHRP grant(if awarded), and minor changes to this plan may be made without prior
approval of the COPS Office. We also recognize that this plan may incorporate a broad range of possible
community policing strategies and activities, and that your agency may implement particular community
policing strategies from the plan on an as-needed basis throughout the life of the grant. If your agency's
community policing plan changes significantly,however,you must submit those changes in writing to the
COPS Office for approval. Changes are"significant"if they deviate from the range of possible community
policing activities identified and approved in this original community policing plan submitted with your
application.
The foundation for change comes from a need to maximize resources and improve the Department by
maintaining the delicate balance of achieving efficiencies but maintaining effectiveness. In addition,the basis
for the new direction is citizen support for the community policing model, availability of technology,an
understanding of the relationship between crime and quality of life issues, and the need to partner and
collaborate with community groups and municipal partners in order to effectively deal with crime and crime
related issues. Implementation will focus on the need to continuously improve practice and procedures to
ensure the Department is viewed as a progressive,professional and efficient organization.
Community Policing is both a philosophy and an organizational strategy that allows the police and the
community to work closely together in new ways to solve the problems of crime, illicit drugs, fear of crime,
physical and social disorder,neighborhood decay and address the overall quality of life in the community. As
citizens are allowed to contribute to the police function, a bonus of community support and participation
evolves. The philosophy relies on the belief that solutions to today's community problems require both
citizens and the police to explore creative,new ways to address neighborhood concerns beyond a narrow
focus on individual crime incidents. To meet this end,the Department will seek to improve accessibility,
enhance visibility, and provide reassurance and support by doing the following:
1. Promoting the growth of community policing
2.Maximizing the impact of increased officer numbers
3. Improving the accessibility of the police department
4. Encouraging joint working with partners to address the fear of crime
5. Developing the work of the School Resource Officers
6. Improving communication with local and regional government bodies
7. Improving feedback to the public
Every resource of the Police Department is committed to the Community Policing philosophy. Ongoing
communication with residents and businesses in the community are stressed at all times. The idea is to send a
clear message to let citizens know the police are there to protect them.In turn, we ask for their help in
solving community problems.
Community Policing is a strengthening of the partnership between the citizen,the City's law enforcement,
and government. The plan encourages citizen participation in crime reduction and allows greater
coordination with City government to address public safety issues. Strategic planning,with measurable long
and short term goals provides a"road map" for the success of the program. Formal planning defines the
program's direction and provides for its'continual evaluation. Quality planning, crucial to a successful
program,requires commitment,common sense, and compassion. By setting goals for the program,the City
can continually review its resources,and be assured that they are being used in the most effective manner
possible. By monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the program,it will continue to move forward,
fostering a renewed sense of hope among our residents. The Department will seek to deliver efficiency,
improve resource management and maximize operational impact by doing the following:
1. Introducing a program of organizational self assessment based on Total Quality Management models
2. Developing plans with partners to combine resources
3. Demonstrating and promoting the potential of staff
Specialized law enforcement programs provide personalized service for citizens and enhanced performance
to combat high profile criminal activity. The Department will continue enhancements to maximize the
effectiveness of these programs.
The uniformed bike patrol team allows greater mobility and stealth qualities that assist in observing crime
and making on-view anests. Bicycle officers are charged with enhancing community support and confidence
in the Police Department,while addressing drug and alcohol violations,and other serious crime. Face to face
dialogue with residents and business owners in the target areas ensure the goals of community policing are
achieved and maintained.
Narcotic Initiative Team is a specially trained team deployed to control,track and combat drug activity. They
are responsible for networking with other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to promote
exchange of intelligence, enforcement support and cross training.
Crime Prevention and DARE are designed to enhance the community policing strategy, and to be responsive
to special problems affecting the community. These officers are active in the community dissolving barriers,
educating citizens on security and personal safety, interpreting the needs of the community as it relates to law
enforcement, assisting people on an individual basis, and improving lines of communication between citizen
and the different department divisions. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education(DARE)program is designed
as proactive training and education on drug abuse for school children.Neighborhood Watch meetings in
homes are used to coordinate various strategies to mutually combat specific neighborhood problems. Citizens
voice concerns about problems affecting their living environment and help develop solutions.
School Resource Officers is a program that combines the resources of the School District with City and
police personnel for school safety and campus problem solving. Resources are defined to solve problems of
truancy, discipline problems, and provide family intervention and counseling.
