Opportunity Summary:
The COPS CAMP Application 2014 opportunity is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), focused specifically on strengthening state-level efforts to combat methamphetamine. It is structured as an open competition, but it is narrowly targeted: only state law enforcement agencies that are legally authorized (either by statute or by designation from a state agency) to conduct or supervise anti-methamphetamine investigative activities can apply. The solicitation emphasizes that funding is limited and the competition is expected to be highly competitive, so proposals are expected to be well supported, operationally realistic, and grounded in evidence.
The program’s core purpose is to expand and improve enforcement and investigative capacity related to illicit methamphetamine activity. This includes work aimed at identifying and disrupting precursor chemical diversion, clandestine laboratories, lab dump sites, and trafficking networks. A major theme in the solicitation is multijurisdictional impact. Applications are expected to show reach beyond a single locality, ideally through multi-agency, multi-county, or statewide coordination. The COPS Office signals that stronger proposals will demonstrate participation in interdisciplinary team structures such as task forces, which typically means investigators and analysts working alongside prosecutors, community partners, and potentially public health or child welfare stakeholders where appropriate.
Another key factor the solicitation highlights is the use of data to justify the proposal. Strong applications should include multi-year, state-level methamphetamine seizure data to establish the scope of the problem and to support the need for the proposed activities. In practical terms, the announcement is looking for applicants to show trends, operational pressures, and measurable indicators of meth activity over time, rather than relying on general statements about the drug’s impact. The expectation is that the proposal will connect that data to a clear plan for how the grant-supported work will increase seizures, disruptions, and investigative outcomes.
The goals laid out for the program include several interlocking objectives. First is increasing efforts to locate and investigate illicit methamphetamine activity, including precursor diversion, labs, and traffickers. Second is establishing new task forces or enhancing existing multijurisdictional and interdisciplinary task forces in ways that lead to concrete enforcement outcomes such as seizures of precursor chemicals, finished methamphetamine, clandestine labs, and lab dumps. Third is increasing the use of community policing strategies to reduce meth manufacture, distribution, and use. The solicitation explicitly frames community policing broadly, including problem-solving approaches, partnerships, and organizational changes within agencies. Finally, it aims to strengthen collaboration across federal, state, local, and tribal partners involved not only in enforcement, but also in prevention efforts, intervention and treatment connections, and identification of drug-endangered children. That last point signals an interest in coordination that addresses downstream harms and improves cross-system response, not just arrests and seizures.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number "COPS CAMP APPLICATION 2014" and is tied to CFDA 16.710, Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants. The funding instrument type is listed as a cooperative agreement grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling is $1,000,000, indicating the maximum potential award per recipient under this solicitation. The COPS Office also reserves the right to limit awards to one per state at the time awards are announced, which reinforces the competitive nature of the program and suggests that even strong applications may be competing against other statewide proposals rather than multiple awards being made within the same state.
The posting date was May 30, 2014, with the application deadline set for 7:59 PM EDT on Monday, June 30, 2014. The solicitation is clear that late applications will not be considered. The archive date is listed as September 30, 2014, reflecting when the opportunity was formally closed out in the system. For applicants needing help obtaining the full announcement or dealing with access issues, the contact point is the COPS Office Response Center at 800-421-6770 or askCopsRC@usdoj.gov.
One additional note included in the eligibility and application instructions is a caution about school-related safety requests: applicants seeking School Resource Officer (SRO) positions or other school safety solutions are instructed to apply through the COPS Hiring Program instead and not to select the Comprehensive School Safety Program option on the COPS application attachment to the SF-424. This clarifies that CAMP is intended for anti-methamphetamine efforts rather than school safety staffing, and it helps prevent misrouted or ineligible requests within the application package.
Overall, COPS CAMP Application 2014 is a targeted federal funding opportunity designed to help eligible state law enforcement agencies scale up coordinated, data-driven, multijurisdictional investigations and task force operations against methamphetamine, while also promoting community policing methods and stronger partnerships that connect enforcement with prevention, treatment, and child endangerment identification efforts.
