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 Regional Community Policing
Institute Quarterly Progress Report in a number of ways. The name
of the report was changed to Training 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.
