Opportunity Summary:
The Great Lakes Law Enforcement Task Force grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00199) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under CFDA 15.662, Great Lakes Restoration. Its purpose is to support a multi-state, collaborative law enforcement effort focused on investigating and enforcing state and federal wildlife laws across the Great Lakes region, with an emphasis on protecting and conserving aquatic species native to the area. The project is designed around coordinated investigations and enforcement actions that reduce wildlife crime and, in turn, protect natural resources that provide broad public benefits.
The work centers on the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Division of Law Enforcement participating as a task force partner alongside counterpart agencies in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. The overall intent is to combine investigative capacity across jurisdictions so agencies can share intelligence, coordinate cases that cross state lines, and use personnel and equipment efficiently. Activities supported through this effort include developing and sharing investigative intelligence, identifying enforcement targets, preparing investigative reports, and conducting coordinated investigations aimed at addressing wildlife law violations affecting Great Lakes aquatic resources.
A key feature of this award is that it is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning USFWS expects to be substantially involved in carrying out the work rather than simply providing pass-through funding. USFWS Office of Law Enforcement is designated to lead the task force, including directing investigative priorities, gathering and analyzing intelligence, identifying targets, producing reports, and guiding the team’s investigative work. IDNR’s role is described as an active working partner that contributes manpower, equipment, investigative expertise, and information-sharing to support the task force mission.
This posting is not an open solicitation and does not involve a competitive application process.

The funding activity category is listed as Environment, reflecting the conservation and resource-protection focus of the enforcement work.
