This information collection requests information required to monitor the progress & use of funds by COPS Office Training and Technical Assistance service providers such as the COPS Regional Community Policing Institutes through the project period.
The COPS Office revised the currently approved collection ÂRegional Community Policing Institute Quarterly Progress Report in a number of ways. The name of the report was changed to ÂTraining and Technical Assistance Semi-Annual Status Report to include all awardees that have training and technical assistance grants (both Regional Community Policing Institutes and all other agencies that receive training and technical assistance awards). The format of the report was also updated and streamlined, resulting in a report with reduced burden time and fewer required questions.
