The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is offering the Local Law Enforcement Grants for Enforcement of Cybercrimes Program. This grant is for the purpose of empowering States, Indian Tribes, and local government units to combat cybercrimes. Its primary goal is to enhance prevention, enforcement, and prosecution efforts against offenses that target adult and young adult individuals. Covered cybercrimes include those using a computer to harass, threaten, stalk, extort, coerce, cause fear, intimidate, or non-consensually distribute intimate images. The program focuses solely on crimes against individuals, explicitly excluding those causing harm to commercial entities, government agencies, or non-natural persons. This initiative supports a safer digital environment for vulnerable populations.
