The COPS Office received an overwhelming response to this year's CHRP grant application <br />solicitation. Nearly 7,300 CHRP applications requesting over 39,000 officers and $8.3 billion in funds <br />were submitted to the COPS Office, while $1 billion was available for the program. <br />As you may know, the COPS Office's first CHRP award announcement occurred on July 28, <br />2009. With an abundance of high - quality grant applications and a limited amount of funding available, <br />COPS was faced with many difficult funding decisions. Many applicant requests were reduced due to the <br />high demand relative to the amount of funding available, with the goal of distributing CHRP officers to a <br />greater number of jurisdictions. Ultimately, however, COPS was able to fund only 1,046 (14 %) of the <br />7,272 CHRP requests received during the 2009 solicitation. Unfortunately, your CHRP proposal was not <br />selected for the July 28th announcement. <br />Although your agency was not among those announced, please note that your CHRP funding <br />request has not been denied. Currently, your CHRP application remains under a "pending" status within <br />the COPS Office, which means that the proposal is still under consideration. Once the COPS Office <br />7/31/2009 <br />
