Deputy Assistant Attorney General
Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has been
delegated the responsibility for ensuring that recipients of federal financial assistance from the OJP, the Office of
Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) are not engaged in
discrimination prohibited by law. Several federal civil rights laws, such as Title A of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance to give assurances that
they will comply with those laws. Taken together, these civil rights laws prohibit recipients of federal financial
assistance from DOJ from discriminating in services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion,
disability, sex, and, for grants authorized under the Violence Against Women Act, sexual orientation and gender
identity. Recipients are also prohibited from discriminating in services because of age. For a complete review of these
civil rights laws and nondiscrimination requirements, in connection with DOJ awards, see https://ojp.gov/funding/
Explore/LegalOverview/Civil Rights Req u i rem ents. htm.
Under the delegation of authority, the OCR investigates allegations of discrimination against recipients from individuals,
entities, or groups. In addition, the OCR conducts limited compliance reviews and audits based on regulatory criteria.
Page: 2 of 23
These reviews and audits permit the OCR to evaluate whether recipients of financial assistance from the Department
are providing services in a nondiscriminatory manner to their service population or have employment practices that
meet equal -opportunity standards.
If you are a recipient of grant awards under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act or the Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention Act and your agency is part of a criminal justice system, there are two additional
obligations that may apply in connection with the awards: (1) complying with the regulation relating to Equal
Employment Opportunity Programs (EEOPs); and (2) submitting findings of discrimination to OCR. For additional
information regarding the EEOP requirement, see 28 CFR Part 42, subpart E, and for additional information regarding
requirements when there is an adverse finding, see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c)(5).
The OCR is available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that are associated with DOJ
grant funding. If you would like the OCR to assist you in fulfilling your organization's civil rights or nondiscrimination
responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the OCR at
askOCR@ojp.usdoj.gov.

including any interest, may not be used to pay debts or expenses incurred by other activities beyond the scope of the
Page: 16 of 23
Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG). The recipient also agrees to obligate the award
funds in the trust fund (including any interest earned) during the period of performance for the award and expend within

443
Authorization to obligate (federal) award funds to reimburse certain project costs incurred on or after October 1, 2022
The recipient may obligate (federal) award funds only after the recipient makes a valid acceptance of the award. As of
the first day of the period of performance for the award (October 1, 2022), however, the recipient may choose to incur
project costs using non-federal funds, but any such project costs are incurred at the recipient's risk until, at a minimum-
- (1) the recipient makes a valid acceptance of the award, and (2) all applicable withholding conditions are removed by
OJP (via an Award Condition Modification (ACM)). (A withholding condition is a condition in the award document that
precludes the recipient from obligating, expending, or drawing down all or a portion of the award funds until the
condition is removed.)
'Except to the extent (if any) that an award condition expressly precludes reimbursement of project costs incurred "at-
irisk," if and when the recipient makes a valid acceptance of this award and OJP removes each applicable withholding
condition through an Award Condition Modification (ACM), the recipient is authorized to obligate (federal) award funds
to reimburse itself for project costs incurred "at -risk" earlier during the period of performance (such as project costs
incurred prior to award acceptance or prior to removal of an applicable withholding condition), provided that those
project costs otherwise are allowable costs under the award.
�44
If award funds are used for DNA testing of evidentiary materials, any resulting eligible DNA profiles must be uploaded
to the Combined DNA Index System ("CODIS," the DNA database operated by the FBI) by a government DNA
laboratory with access to CODIS. With the exception of Forensic Genetic Genealogy, no profiles generated under this
award may be entered or uploaded into any non -governmental DNA database without prior express written approval
from BJA. Award funds may not be used for the purchase of DNA equipment and supplies unless the resulting DNA
profiles may be accepted for entry into CODIS. Booking agencies should work with their state CODIS agency to ensure
all requirements are met for participation in Rapid DNA (see National Rapid DNA Booking Operational Procedures
,Manual).
145
'Submission of eligible records relevant to the National Instant Background Check System
Consonant with federal statutes that pertain to firearms and background checks -- including 18 U.S.C. 922 and 34
U.S.C. ch. 409 -- if the recipient (or any subrecipient at any tier) uses this award to fund (in whole or in part) a specific
Page: 17 of 23
project or program (such as a law enforcement, prosecution, or court program) that results in any court dispositions,
information, or other records that are "eligible records" (under federal or State law) relevant to the National Instant
Background Check System (NICS), or that has as one of its purposes the establishment or improvement of records
systems that contain any court dispositions, information, or other records that are "eligible records" (under federal or
State law) relevant to the NICS, the recipient (or subrecipient, if applicable) must ensure that all such court
dispositions, information, or other records that are "eligible records" (under federal or State law) relevant to the NICS
are promptly made available to the NICS or to the "State" repository/database that is electronically available to (and
accessed by) the NICS, and — when appropriate -- promptly must update, correct, modify, or remove such NICS-
relevant "eligible records".

I47
Certification of body armor "mandatory wear" policies, and compliance with NIJ standards
If recipient uses funds under this award to purchase body armor, the recipient must submit a signed certification that
each law enforcement agency receiving body armor purchased with funds from this award has a written "mandatory
wear" policy in effect. The recipient must keep signed certifications on file for any subrecipients planning to utilize funds
from this award for ballistic -resistant and stab -resistant body armor purchases. This policy must be in place for at least
all uniformed officers before any funds from this award may be used by an agency for body armor. There are no
requirements regarding the nature of the policy other than it be a mandatory wear policy for all uniformed officers while
on duty.
Ballistic -resistant and stab -resistant body armor purchased with award funds may be purchased at any threat level,
make or model, from any distributor or manufacturer, as long as the body armor has been tested and found to comply I
with applicable National Institute of Justice ballistic or stab standards, and is listed on the NIJ Compliant Body Armor
Model List. In addition, ballistic -resistant and stab -resistant body armor purchased must be made in the United States i
and must be uniquely fitted, as set forth in 34 U.S.C. 10202(c)(1)(A). The latest NIJ standard information and the NIJ

Extreme risk protection programs funded by JAG must include, at a minimum: pre -deprivation and post -deprivation due i
process rights that prevent any violation or infringement of the Constitution of the United States, including but not
limited to the Bill of Rights, and the substantive or procedural due process rights guaranteed under the Fifth and
Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, as applied to the States, and as interpreted by State
courts and United States courts (including the Supreme Court of the United States). Such programs must include, at
the appropriate phase to prevent any violation of constitutional rights, at minimum, notice, the right to an in -person
hearing, an unbiased adjudicator, the right to know opposing evidence, the right to present evidence, and the right to
confront adverse witnesses; the right to be represented by counsel at no expense to the government; pre -deprivation
and post -deprivation heightened evidentiary standards and proof which mean not less than the protections afforded to
a similarly situated litigant in Federal court or promulgated by the State's evidentiary body, and sufficient to ensure the
full protections of the Constitution of the United States, including but not limited to the Bill of Rights, and the
substantive and procedural due process rights guaranteed under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the
Constitution of the United States, as applied to the States, and as interpreted by State courts and United States courts
(including the Supreme Court of the United States). The heightened evidentiary standards and proof under such
programs must, at all appropriate phases to prevent any violation of any constitutional right, at minimum, prevent
reliance upon evidence that is unswom or unaffirmed, irrelevant, based on inadmissible hearsay, unreliable, vague,
speculative, and lacking a foundation; and penalties for abuse of the program.
