Your agency is required to use CHP award funds for the specific hiring categories awarded.Funding under this program may be used for the following categories: • Hiring new officers,which includes filling existing officer vacancies that are no longer funded in your agency's budget; • Rehiring officers laid off by any jurisdiction as a result of state,local,or Bureau of Indian Affairs(BIA) budget reductions; and/or • Rehiring officers who were,at the time of award application,scheduled to be laid off(by your jurisdiction) on a specific future date as a result of state,local,or BIA budget reductions If your agency's local fiscal conditions have changed and your agency needs to change one or more of the funded hiring categories,your agency should request an award modification and receive prior approval before spending CHP funding under the new category. The Financial Clearance Memorandum(FCM),included in your award package,specifies the amount of CHP funds awarded to your agency.You should carefully review your FCM,which contains the final officer salary and fringe benefit categories and amounts for which your agency was approved.Please note that the salary and fringe benefit costs requested in your CHP application may have been adjusted or removed.Your agency may only be reimbursed ADVANCING PUBLIC SAFETY THROUGH COMMUNITY POLICING ORI TX22012-Award 2020IIMWX0216-Award Terms and Conditions 2020-CHP-Page 2 of 16 for the approved cost categories that are documented within the FCM,up to the amounts specified in the FCM.Your agency may not use CHP funds for any costs that are not identified as allowable in the Financial Clearance Memorandum. Only actual allowable costs incurred during the award period will be eligible for reimbursement and drawdown.If your agency experiences any cost savings over the course of the award(for example,your award application overestimated the total entry-level officer salary and fringe benefits package),your agency may not use that excess funding to extend the length of the award beyond 36 months.Any funds remaining after your agency has drawn down for the costs of approved salaries and fringe benefits incurred for each awarded position during the 36-month funding period will be deobligated during the closeout process and should not be spent by your agency. 4.Supplementing,Not Supplanting State,local,and tribal governments must use award funds to supplement,and not supplant,state,local,or Bureau of Indian Affairs(BIA)funds that are already committed or otherwise would have been committed for award purposes (hiring,training,purchases,and/or activities)during the award period.In other words,state,local,and tribal government recipients may not use COPS Office funds to supplant(replace)state,local,or BIA funds that would have been dedicated to the COPS Office-funded item(s)in the absence of the COPS Office award.34 U.S.C. § 10384(a). 5.Extensions Your agency may request an extension of the award period to receive additional time to implement your award program. Such extensions do not provide additional funding.Awards may be extended a maximum of 36 months beyond the initial award expiration date.Any request for an extension beyond 36 months will be evaluated on a case- by-case basis.Only those recipients that can provide a reasonable justification for delays will be granted no-cost extensions.Reasonable justifications may include difficulties in filling COPS Office-funded positions,officer turnover, or other circumstances that interrupt the 36 month award funding period.An extension allows your agency to compensate for such delays by providing additional time to complete the full 36 months of funding for each position awarded.Extension requests must be received prior to the end date of the award. 6.Modifications Occasionally,a change in an agency's fiscal or law enforcement situation necessitates a change in its COPS Office CHP award.Award modifications under CHIP are evaluated on a case-by-case basis in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.308.For federal awards in excess of$250,000,any modification request involving the reallocation of funding between budget categories that exceed or are expected to exceed 10 percent(10%)of the total approved budget requires prior written approval by the COPS Office.Regardless of the federal award amount or budget modification percentage,any reallocation of funding is limited to approved budget categories.In addition,any budget modification that changes the scope of the project requires prior written approval by the COPS Office.In addition, please be aware that the COPS Office will not approve any modification request that results in an increase of federal funds. In addition,modification requests should be submitted to the COPS Office when an agency determines that it will need to shift officer positions awarded in one hiring category into a different hiring category and/or reduce the total number of positions awarded.For example,if an agency was awarded CHP funding for two new,additional sworn officer positions,but due to fiscal distress/constraints the agency needs to change the hiring category from the new hire category to the rehire category for officers laid off or scheduled for layoff on a specific future date post- application,the agency would have to request a modification.The COPS Office will only consider a modification ADVANCING PUBLIC SAFETY THROUGH COMMUNITY POLICING ORI TX22012-Award 2020IIMWX0216-Award Terms and Conditions 2020-CHP-Page 3 of 16 request after an agency makes final,approved budget and/or personnel decisions.An agency may implement the modified award following written approval from the COPS Office.Please be aware that the COPS Office will not approve any modification request that results in an increase of federal funds. 7.Evaluations The COPS Office may conduct monitoring or sponsor national evaluations of its award programs.The recipient agrees to cooperate with the monitors and evaluators 34 U.S.C. § 10385(b). 8.Reports/Performance Goals To assist the COPS Office in monitoring and tracking the performance of your award,your agency will be responsible for submitting semi-annual programmatic progress reports that describe project activities during the reporting period and quarterly Federal Financial Reports using Standard Form 425(SF-425).2 C.F.R. §§200.327-200.328.The progress report is used to track your agency's progress toward implementing community policing strategies and to collect data to gauge the effectiveness of increasing your agency's community policing capacity through COPS Office funding.

DISCUSSION: The Fiscal Year(FY)2020 COPS Hiring Program(CHP)is designed to advance public safety through community policing by addressing the full- time sworn officer needs of state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies nationwide.The CHP provides funds directly to law enforcement agencies to hire new and/or rehire career law enforcement officers and to increase their community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts. The FY2020 CHP grants will provide up to 75 percent of the approved entry-level salaries and fringe benefits of full-time officers for a 36 month grant period with a minimum 25 percent local cash match requirement.The maximum federal share is limited to the amount of$125,000.00 per officer position during the duration of the grant term.The cash match amount exceeds the 25%requirement because CHP funds do not cover the total amount required to cover these positions so the additional cash match above this percentage is required to accomplish the project. The City of Fort Worth is requesting the amount of$1,625,000.00 in funding from CHP to hire 13 new officers for the Police Department.A cash match requirement in the amount of$1,830,420.54 will be required over a 36 month period.
