Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled INL-16GR0055-INLCAPPolice-07-18-2016 (Funding Opportunity Number: INLEA INLTC 16 006) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It is a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the Department of State anticipated a hands-on partnership with the selected recipient(s) rather than a simple pass-through of funds. The activity falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services category and is associated with CFDA 19.705. The opportunity was created on July 18, 2016, and originally closed on August 17, 2016.
At its core, the program aimed to expand INL's capacity to deliver international police training by adding a full-service, U.S.-based police training operation and facility to INL's set of training options. In practical terms, INL wanted a domestic training hub that could host international law enforcement participants and support State Department rule-of-law and policing programs around the world. Rather than focusing on a narrow training topic, the initiative was structured to provide end-to-end training services that INL could rely on for a wide range of international programming needs.
The partner agency selected under this Cooperative Agreement would be expected to manage the full scope of planning and execution required to conduct international police training in the United States. This included designing and tailoring course curricula for INL-sponsored international participants, delivering classroom-based instruction, and providing field or operational training components that translate theory into practice. The description also emphasizes experiential learning, suggesting scenario-based exercises, practical simulations, or other hands-on methods that reflect real operational environments. In addition, the provider would be responsible for measuring participant learning through student evaluation and testing, which implies the need for structured assessment tools, performance benchmarks, and clear criteria for successful completion.
A key functional requirement was the ability to perform training needs assessments for international law enforcement operations when requested. This means the partner needed enough institutional expertise to evaluate an overseas police organization or unit, identify capability gaps, and recommend an appropriate course of instruction to strengthen operational capacity. The expectation was not only to teach pre-set courses, but to help INL decide what training should be delivered based on an informed assessment of real-world needs.
Language capability was also built into the design. Training programs were expected to be conducted primarily in English, but the partner organization needed the capacity to arrange training in other languages when necessary. That requirement points to an expectation of either in-house multilingual instructional capability or reliable access to qualified language support, translation, interpretation services, and adapted training materials suitable for non-English-speaking participants.
In terms of scale, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $90,000 and anticipated up to two awards. Eligibility was described broadly as "Others," with additional clarification presumably contained in the full notice text. Overall, the opportunity sought an experienced U.S.-based training provider that could operate a comprehensive police training facility, customize and deliver professional instruction for international audiences, evaluate outcomes, and support INL with assessment-driven training recommendations in support of State Department programs worldwide.
