The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is offering the Emergency Federal Law Enforcement Assistance (EFLEA) Program. This grant is for the purpose of providing critical federal funds to help offset the costs incurred by state and local law enforcement agencies. These funds are specifically allocated for responses to uncommon situations that require law enforcement intervention, which are or threaten to become of serious or epidemic proportions. The program addresses scenarios where state and local resources are inadequate to effectively protect citizens’ lives and property or enforce criminal law. This initiative underscores the Office of Justice Programs’ (OJP) commitment to advancing civil rights, racial equity, access to justice, supporting crime victims, enhancing community safety, and fostering trust between law enforcement and the community.
