The FY 2015 BWC PIP will support the implementation of body-worn camera programs in law enforcement agencies across the country. The intent of the program is to help develop, implement, and evaluate a BWC program as one tool in a law enforcement comprehensive problem-solving approach to enhance officer interactions with the public and build community trust. As a funding metric, applicants may request no more than $1,500.00 for each camera to be deployed in this phase of their BWC program, up to the agency size funding limitations. Though funds are correlated to the number of cameras, awarded funds may also be used for any part of the BWC program other than line-item data storage costs which can only be covered with matching funds. BWC systems that are bundled or sold as software-as-a-service (SAAS) with no line-item distinction to data storage costs are permissible for award funding. Additionally, applications for BWC programs deploying less than 25 cameras will not be considered. BJA estimates that it will make up to a total of 50 awards for Categories 1 through 4 for an estimated total of $17,000,000, and 1 award for Category 5 for up to $2,000,000. All awards will be for a 24-month project period, beginning on October 1, 2015.

In 2009, based on a series of meetings across the country addressing violent crime in tribal communities, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) made the decision to decrease the number of applications tribes and tribal consortia were required to submit to receive grant funds. In 2010, DOJ launched its first ever Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS), which combined DOJ’s existing Tribal Government specific competitive solicitations into one and thus required only one application from each tribe or tribal consortium. This approach provides federally recognized tribes and tribal consortia the opportunity to develop a comprehensive approach to public safety and victimization issues.

Snapshot of Purpose Areas:
1. Public safety and community policing (COPS Office)
2. Comprehensive Tribal Justice Systems Strategic Planning (BJA)
3. Justice systems and alcohol and substance abuse (BJA)
4. Corrections and correctional alternatives (BJA)
5. Violence Against Women Tribal Governments program (OVW)

This FY 2013 grant program seeks to support implementation of justice information sharing solutions that address critical challenges currently faced by state, local, and tribal criminal justice agencies. The justice information sharing solutions implemented under this solicitation should leverage one or more of the components of the Global Standards Package (GSP) and support criminal justice policies, practices, and programs that are evidence-based and data-driven. In addition, available funding is designed to assist state, local, and tribal jurisdictions advance information sharing capabilities by leveraging existing information systems and networks, and not build new systems and networks.

For more information on the GSP, see www.it.ojp.gov/gsp. For more information about evidence-based programs, visit the OJP’s’ CrimeSolutions.gov web site.

Purpose Areas:
Priority consideration will be given to proposed information sharing technology solutions that support the integration of contemporary research and evidence into criminal justice policies and practices, and focus on one of the five purpose areas listed below. These purpose areas are high priorities for OJP, BJA, and Global:

1. Implementation of information sharing technology solutions that support crime-fighting strategies that leverage the current criminal justice research (e.g., the research on “hot spots” and “place-based” policing suggests significant crime prevention benefits can be gained by focusing on such places).

2. Implementation of information sharing technology solutions that advance interagency information sharing, leveraging innovative use of crime analysis to fight violent crime and illegal drugs across jurisdictions.

3. Implementation of information sharing technology solutions that support offender management approaches that translate the contemporary criminal justice research into policies and practices that promote public safety and offender success (e.g., the literature on offender management suggests reductions in recidivism are likely when the principles of risk, need, and responsivity are operationalized).

4. Implementation of information sharing technology solutions to enhance information sharing between criminal justice and health/mental health agencies to promote public safety, continuity of care, and offender success.

5. Development and implementation of a national pilot technology solution for confinement facilities required to comply with PREA standards. It is anticipated the successful proposal will include a minimum of three to five states as partners in pilot testing the solution.
