Description
This program, administered by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) at the U.S. Department of Justice, provides competitive grants to eligible state law enforcement agencies in states with high per capita rates of primary treatment admissions for opioid use. The goal is to advance public safety by supporting statewide collaboration to locate or investigate illicit activities related to the distribution of heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, or the unlawful distribution of prescription opioids. The program aims to increase the hours and capabilities of statewide task forces, expand agency participation, and enhance analytical capabilities in combating opioid-related crime.
