Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Community Based Policing development in the Kyrgyz Republic" is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program run through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL). It is structured as a grant (not a contract), and it sits in the Law, Justice, and Legal Services funding category under CFDA 19.703. The opportunity was posted on November 10, 2015, created the same day, and had a closing date of January 9, 2016.
At its core, the program is designed to strengthen community-oriented policing in the Kyrgyz Republic by improving the relationship between citizens and the police. The underlying logic is that when trust and regular communication exist between communities and law enforcement, it becomes easier to identify local safety problems early, respond to them fairly, and reduce the ability of criminal networks or violent extremist groups to recruit, organize, and operate. The opportunity frames community policing not only as a public safety approach, but also as a prevention strategy that can reduce radicalization risks by helping communities recognize threats, build resilience, and intervene before individuals are drawn into violence.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is sustained community engagement. Rather than one-time outreach events, the program description points toward long-term, collaborative relationships between community members and officials. It calls for strategies that are holistic and that include all sectors of society, with the practical goal of finding the right local partners to keep engagement going over time. In other words, the effort is meant to be broad-based and durable, not dependent on a single institution or a temporary campaign.
The description also highlights inclusion as a central requirement, specifically stating that women and youth must be included and leveraged as positive agents of change. This reflects an expectation that effective community safety and prevention work cannot rely solely on traditional power structures or security actors. Instead, programs should create meaningful roles for groups that are often closest to early warning signs and social dynamics in neighborhoods, schools, and families, and who can influence community norms in ways that help prevent violence and crime.
Accountability, transparency, and honest communication are presented as necessary conditions for trust-building. The opportunity makes the point that community members are more likely to cooperate with police when they believe security services are accountable and acting in the public interest. That cooperation then reinforces a cycle: increased interaction leads to increased trust, which improves the ability to identify and solve everyday crime problems as well as concerns linked to violent extremism. The overall vision is a practical partnership model where community members and law enforcement jointly address safety issues, rather than operating in isolation or in an adversarial relationship.
From an award and funding standpoint, the grant lists an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and anticipates making up to five awards. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with the note that further clarification would appear in an eligibility section of the full announcement. The funding opportunity number is INL 16GR0004 EAKYRGYZTAN 11102015, which can be used to locate the original notice and any detailed application requirements, selection criteria, or reporting expectations that were part of the full solicitation.
