Many have asked when announcements will be made regarding funding for the COPS program. Information from the COPS Hiring Recovery Program Office indicates that over 7,000 applications requesting more than $8.3 billion from around the country, has been received by the COPS Hiring Recovery Program Office for just $1 billion in funding. The office has been actively reviewing the applications, seeking additional information where necessary, and is now moving in to the next phase of the process which includes in-depth budget request reviews and evaluating the retention requirement information and other aspects of the application. In preparing a final award list, the office will look at the total number of sworn positions being requested by each agency and determine how best to allocate the funds available. The COPS Office expects to complete this work and make awards no later than September 30.
