Early warning of threats against Law Enforcement
The COPS Office administers the National Blue Alert Network, a voluntary nationwide system to give authorities an early warning of threats against law enforcement and to aid in the apprehension of suspects who have killed or seriously injured an officer or deputy, and to find an officer when they are missing in connection with their official duties.
What this grant does for your agency
The FY25 COPS Blue Alert Program seeks applications from organizations to support the COPS Office in coordinating the Blue Alert system.
The primary objectives of the cooperative agreement to be funded under this funding opportunity are to support states participating in the National Blue Alert Network and to raise awareness, educate, and inform non-Blue Alert states of the Blue Alert Network (e.g., production of an educational video, factsheets, newsletters, presentations, etc.), provide monthly summaries of Blue Alert activations throughout the country, including detailed accounts of heroism involving Blue Alert events, and research, gather, and compile accurate and timely information, from credible sources, about all reported incidents where on duty law enforcement throughout the United States, territories, and tribal lands are shot in the line of duty. Up to $150,000 is available for this cooperative agreement.
Agencies awarded the FY 2025 COPS Blue Alert Program receive funding up to $150,000.
There is approximately $150,000 to fund one award through the FY 2025 Blue Alert program. The award is for two years (24 months) in length.
