Opportunity Information: Apply for O COPS 2025 172383

The FY25 COPS Blue Alert Program is a grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office). It's designed to support the National Blue Alert Network, which provides early warnings about threats to law enforcement officers and helps locate suspects who have seriously harmed or killed officers, or officers who are missing in the line of duty.

The funding will support states already participating in the network and help raise awareness in states that are not yet involved. Project activities may include creating educational materials like videos, newsletters, and factsheets; publishing monthly summaries of Blue Alert activations (including acts of heroism); and collecting accurate data on incidents where officers are shot in the line of duty across the U.S., its territories, and tribal lands.

Applications are open to a wide range of organizations, including public agencies, nonprofits, for-profits, academic institutions, community groups, and faith-based organizations. Only one entity can apply as the main applicant, but other organizations may be included as subrecipients. The lead applicant is responsible for overseeing the project and ensuring compliance with federal requirements.

This program aligns with broader federal priorities focused on public safety, including crime prevention, law enforcement collaboration, drug enforcement, human trafficking prevention, and border security. The funding is subject to availability and future legal or policy changes. For-profit organizations must participate without profit or management fees.
