The Department of Public Safety (DPS) received earmark funding of $9,000,000 directed by Congressional appropriations made to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in December 2022. A grant award was made through DOJ’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) as directed by Congress in September 2023 based on a DPS proposal made in the preceding month. An implementation plan and reviews of this plan are posted on the Public Safety Communications Task Force Reports page.
Implementation of this grant will be largely conducted through procurements processed by the Vermont Department of Buildings and General Services. These requests for proposals can be viewed on the BGS Bids page.
