Law enforcement grants: A comparison of funded grant awards
by Myers, Kenneth Andrew, M.A., THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON, 2006, 95 pages; 1438874

Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to identify commonalities among federal grants that have been awarded by the United States Department of Justice - Community Oriented Policing Services Office and the Department of Homeland Security. The research focuses on 48 grants that were awarded from five grant areas inclusive of personnel grants and equipment grants. A measurement instrument was developed to extract data from the grants for the purpose of determining if patterns existed among the awarded grants. The grants chosen came from jurisdictions of all types, sizes and demographics and represent a cross-section of American law enforcement. Once the data were collected, it was analyzed and examined for patterns. The data are presented in a manner that allows the reader to determine if the information presented can be used as a model to assist them in the development of their own grant applications.
