Abstract: The COPS Progress Report solicits information about the grantees’ progress toward implementation of their COPS grants and their community policing activities. To help manage the monitoring of grants, the COPS Office must obtain updated information from grantees at regular intervals. COPS Progress Report questions for non-hiring grants help to determine the status of implementation of community policing and purchases of equipment, technology, training, and other items awarded under COPS non-hiring grants. COPS Progress Report questions for hiring grants solicit information about the grantees’ hiring efforts, grant implementation assistance needs, retention planning, and the impact of the grant on increasing the capacity of grantees to implement community policing strategies.
