The Fiscal Year 2024 Community Policing Development (CPD) Accreditation program funds will be used to develop the capacity of law enforcement to implement effective practices, outcomes, and strategies to prevent crime and promote safe communities.
The Accreditation program awards funding for law enforcement agencies to complete the process of accreditation, as well as the work of national and state accreditation bodies that support accreditation. To obtain accreditation, a law enforcement agency must ensure all policies and procedures are of the highest standards and in compliance with those defined by the accreditation entity. The community benefits when it is assured its law enforcement personnel are following best practice policies and procedures to provide efficient, effective, and fair policing. For additional information, please see the Accreditation Topic Page.
The FY24 CPD Accreditation has three open solicitations, two for which cities are eligible:
- FY24 Enhancing Existing Law Enforcement Accreditation Entities
- FY24 Supporting Law Enforcement Agencies in Seeking Accreditation
