CONDITIONS OF GRANT AWARD
1. The funding under this project is for the payment of SALARIES AND APPROVED
FRINGE BENEFITS for three years for sworn entry level officers, lateral transfers or
rehired officers. Overtime, training, weapons, communication equipment and vehicles
cannot be paid for with this funding.
2. COPS FAST grant funds must be used to hire one or more new additional career
law enforcement officers beyond the number of officers that would be hired or employed
by the Grantee in the absence of the grant. Unless authorized in writing by the COPS
Office, grant funds may not be applied to the salary or benefits of an officer hired by a
Grantee prior to February 8, 1995. Grantees are expected to make a good faith effort to
retain the positions funded by COPS FAST grant funds at the conclusion of the grant term.
Throughout the grant term, Grant Advisors will provide any needed guidance in the
creation of a retention plan.
3. Officers funded under this grant may only be involved in activities or perform
services that exclusively benefit your agency and the population that it serves. If your
agency provides these officers to another agency through a contractual arrangement, your
agency is responsible for ensuring that this arrangement is in compliance with the
conditions of your grant.

reverse side of the COPS FAST application and with the COPS FAST Program Guidelines.

will be responsible for submitting progress reports twice a year and financial status reports
on a quarterly basis. In addition to these reports, your agency agrees to provide to the
COPS Office the salaries and itemized benefits for year two and three of the grant period
for the COPS FAST officers. As those reports become due, your Grant Advisor will
provide you with outlines to assist you with them.
6. Requests for extensions of the grant award period which merely request additional
time, not additional funding, should be submitted in writing no later than two years after
the official start date of the award to your Grant Advisor.
