Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Police Training for International Law Enforcement Personnel" to strengthen international law enforcement cooperation and improve security outcomes that affect the United States and partner countries. The central purpose is to advance peace, security, and justice by sharing effective policing practices, strengthening rule of law collaboration, and reducing the harms of transnational crime and illegal drug activity across borders. INL frames the work as part of broader foreign policy and public safety goals, emphasizing the need to coordinate closely with U.S. interagency partners, foreign governments, donors, and program implementers so that assistance is aligned, sustainable, and owned by partner nations.
The opportunity seeks an established police training institution in the United States that can deliver practical, hands-on, real world training for foreign police officers and other law enforcement personnel. The geographic focus is primarily, though not exclusively, the Caribbean Basin and Central America, reflecting INL priorities in the Western Hemisphere. A key feature of the program is that the training is intended to occur in the United States when conducting training in a participant's home country is not feasible or not preferred, especially for operational, tactical, or skills-based instruction that benefits from U.S. facilities, equipment, safety controls, or specialized expertise. In other words, the program is designed to bring vetted international law enforcement personnel to a U.S. academy or training facility for intensive instruction that can be harder to replicate in-country.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means INL expects substantial collaboration during implementation rather than a purely hands-off grant relationship. The award ceiling is $340,000, with no stated award floor, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The assistance is categorized under law, justice, and legal services, and it is associated with CFDA number 19.705 (Trans National Crime). The funding opportunity number is INL 14 CA 0035 INLCAPCENTAMER CARIBBEAN.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. state and local government police agencies, specifically city or township governments and state governments, and applicants must be state-certified and registered on Grants.gov. INL also signals that, because the work is international in nature, applicants may need to demonstrate the ability to coordinate effectively with INL and with foreign government officials, with an emphasis on local ownership and long-term sustainability. Competitive applicants are expected to bring strong familiarity with international law enforcement challenges, particularly those affecting the Western Hemisphere, and proven experience working with diverse participant populations, including personnel from the Caribbean and Central America. A major operational requirement is that the applicant has an established U.S.-based academy or training facility and a demonstrated track record delivering law enforcement training to active-duty officers. INL also requires a cadre of instructors who are fluent Spanish speakers and capable of conducting entire training programs in Spanish, which underscores that many participants are expected to be Spanish-speaking and that instruction should not rely on interpretation as a workaround.
The opportunity was posted August 1, 2014, with an application closing date of August 24, 2014, and it was archived September 23, 2014. Questions or issues accessing the full announcement were directed to Jennifer Doumitt at INL/CAP, (202) 634-1441.
