Opportunity Information: Apply for O COPS 2024 171983

The FY24 COPS Anti-Methamphetamine Program (CAMP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office). The COPS Office is the DOJ component focused on strengthening community policing nationwide by providing both grant funding and practical information resources for law enforcement. Over time, the office has received more than $20 billion in appropriations to support community policing efforts, including helping thousands of agencies hire or redeploy officers and distributing guidance on issues like school and campus safety, violent crime, and officer safety and wellness through its website at https://cops.usdoj.gov.

CAMP specifically targets methamphetamine-related threats by funding competitive, statewide law enforcement investigations in jurisdictions experiencing high levels of meth-related activity. The program is designed for states with significant seizures involving precursor chemicals, finished methamphetamine, clandestine laboratories, and lab dump sites. Grant funds are intended to help state law enforcement agencies locate, investigate, and disrupt illicit methamphetamine activity, including precursor chemical diversion, the operation of meth labs, and trafficking networks. In practical terms, the program is aimed at strengthening investigative capacity and enforcement operations that can reduce the production and distribution of methamphetamine and address the hazards associated with lab sites and chemical dumping.

Eligibility is limited to state law enforcement agencies that are authorized by law, or formally authorized by a state agency, to conduct or supervise anti-methamphetamine investigative activities. While the opportunity notes "state governments" and "others" as eligible applicant categories, the core requirement is that applicants must be statewide law enforcement entities with the legal authority to carry out or oversee methamphetamine investigations; additional eligibility details are referenced in the solicitation's Eligibility section.

Key funding details include an award ceiling of up to $2,000,000 per award, with an estimated 12 awards expected. The program is listed under Assistance Listing (CFDA) number 16.710 and is categorized under the Law, Justice, and Legal Services funding activity area. The funding opportunity number is O-COPS-2024-171983. The original application deadline was June 20, 2024, and the opportunity record was created on April 23, 2024.

Beyond enforcement outcomes, the solicitation emphasizes the COPS Office's broader priorities, including advancing civil rights and equity, increasing access to justice, supporting crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. These priorities frame the program as not only a public safety initiative but also part of a wider DOJ effort to encourage effective, accountable policing and community confidence while addressing serious drug-related harms.
