The goal of Missouri's Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) program is to make funds available for the purchase of basic law enforcement equipment that will enable law enforcement agencies to reduce crime and improve public safety. Priority funding will be granted to those applicants requesting items directly tied to combatting violent crime through improved information sharing. Details must be provided within the application to describe such ties to officer safety; assumptions will not be made by the peer review panel in the absence of such justification.
Allowable types of equipment include, but are not limited to, the following:
None is available.
Ineligible activities and cost items include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
Any state or local agency within Missouri may apply for LLEBG funding for its law enforcement agency, so long as the municipality is not eligible for a direct local JAG award from BJA. Non-profit and for-profit organizations are ineligible.
Applications were to be submitted by November 16, 2024. A similar deadline is anticipated annually.
Awards are up to $9,999.99. Cost sharing/matching is not required. Period of performance is six months, from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025.
