Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) funding opportunity titled Criminal Intelligence System Operating Policies (28 CFR Part 23) National Training and Technical Assistance Program supports a national effort to help law enforcement agencies operate criminal intelligence systems in a way that is both effective and compliant with federal privacy and civil liberties protections. The program, commonly referred to as the Part 23 Training and Technical Assistance Program (Part 23 TTAP), is designed to deliver training, hands-on technical assistance, and onsite compliance reviews to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies throughout the United States. A central purpose of the initiative is to strengthen agencies ability to manage and share criminal intelligence while following the operating policies established under 28 CFR Part 23, a set of rules intended to reduce misuse of intelligence information and protect individuals rights.
This is a discretionary grant program (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2011 2866) associated with CFDA 16.738, the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, with anticipated funding through the FY 2011 general appropriation and JAG statutory authority (42 U.S.C. 3750, et seq.). BJA expected to make up to 20 awards under this solicitation. The maximum award amount listed is $350,000, with no stated minimum award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit or for-profit organizations, including tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations, as long as they are proposing to provide training and technical assistance for the benefit of state, local, and tribal law enforcement. For-profit applicants face an additional restriction: they must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which effectively requires the work to be performed on a cost-reimbursement basis without profit. Beyond organizational type, applicants are expected to demonstrate credible, prior experience delivering training and technical assistance specifically related to 28 CFR Part 23, and to show they have the practical capacity to carry out this work at a national scale. In other words, BJA is looking for an organization with established expertise in Part 23 compliance and the operational ability to reach agencies across the country.
The program itself has been operating since 1999 and, according to the announcement, has already served hundreds of local law enforcement agencies. The activities funded under this award are meant to continue and expand that support by helping agencies assess and improve their intelligence policies, procedures, and systems. A key deliverable emphasized in the description is onsite intelligence system compliance reviews, which are intended to evaluate whether an agency criminal intelligence function is consistent with Part 23 requirements and to provide guidance on corrective actions when gaps are identified. Training and technical assistance under Part 23 TTAP therefore focuses not just on theory or general privacy principles, but on practical implementation: how agencies collect, retain, review, purge, and disseminate intelligence information, and how they document and govern those processes to reduce risk to civil liberties.
The opportunity was posted on December 7, 2010, with an application deadline of February 10, 2011, and an archive date of March 12, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Grants.gov customer support. Overall, this solicitation is aimed at selecting qualified organizations that can deliver nationwide support to law enforcement agencies so they can run criminal intelligence systems responsibly, improve compliance with 28 CFR Part 23, and maintain a balance between public safety operations and the protection of privacy and constitutional rights.
