Opportunity Summary:
The Management of Model Precinct/Smart Policing Program in El Salvador grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: INL 16CA0024 WHPELSALVADOR 04112016) is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL). It is designed to support policing and public safety improvements in El Salvador through a cooperative agreement, meaning the funding agency expects active involvement during implementation rather than a purely hands-off grant.
The purpose of the opportunity is to provide comprehensive technical assistance and implementation oversight across three connected areas that together support a "Model Precinct" or "Smart Policing" approach. First, the program emphasizes baseline and outcome measurement through crime and public opinion surveys. This includes establishing credible starting-point data and then tracking changes over time so the program can show whether policing strategies are improving safety and public trust, and to what extent. Second, it focuses on Model Precinct Program (MPP) operations mentoring, which typically involves advising and coaching precinct-level leadership and staff on practical policing operations, management systems, and performance improvement methods aligned with smart policing principles. Third, it supports building and strengthening public/private partnerships, aiming to create structured collaboration between law enforcement and community stakeholders, civil society, and potentially the business sector to address safety concerns, improve legitimacy, and sustain reforms.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories). The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 19.705.
The award is capped at an award ceiling of $3,000,000. The opportunity was posted and created on April 11, 2016, and the application deadline was June 10, 2016. While the notice does not specify the number of expected awards in the provided text, the structure and funding level indicate a substantial technical assistance and oversight effort rather than a small pilot, with the grantee expected to help design, implement, and monitor program elements in close coordination with DOS-INL and local counterparts in El Salvador.
