Abstract: The COPS Extension Request Form will be used in conjunction with all COPS Office grant programs. The four-page form allows grantees to request an extension of time for a particular grant by providing the status of its hiring/project activities, describing the reason the project cannot be implemented or completed on time, and providing current financial information. This information is used to determine whether the grantee has made adequate progress in hiring additional law enforcement officers, implementing their project and has sufficient funds available for the requested extension period. The form provides a summary of critical grant information: the particular program applied for, the number of officers awarded (if applicable), the award amount, remaining balance, and the start date of the grant. It is also required to indicate the title, name and email address of the requestor on page one of the forms. This information is requested to ensure that the database for the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) contains the most current information on the grantee.
