About this opportunity

The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is the component of the Department of Justice responsible for advancing the practice of community policing and the Administration’s priority of Making America Safe Again by supporting the nation’s and Tribal law enforcement agencies through information and grant resources. This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the FY26 COPS Anti-Heroin Task Force (AHTF) Program. This funding opportunity seeks to advance public safety by making competitive grants to state law enforcement agencies in states with high per capita rates of primary treatment admissions, for the purpose of locating or investigating illicit activities, through statewide collaboration, relating to the distribution of carfentanil or relating to the unlawful distribution of prescription opioids. FY26 AHTF seeks to increase the number of hours devoted to statewide task forces, increase the number and variety of agencies participating in task forces, and enhance the analytical capability of task forces. As community policing is common sense policing, throughout the FY26 AHTF NOFO materials, the terms ‘community policing’ and ‘common sense policing’ are used interchangeably, unless otherwise specified. Allowable costs under FY26 AHTF include the following: • Salaries and fringe benefits for new, full-time sworn career law enforcement officer positions, including eligible rehired officers not supported in the local budget. Exception: in FY26, funding may be used for existing positions supported by prior AHTF awards. • Salaries and fringe benefits for civilian/non-sworn personnel not already in supported in the local budget. Examples include: • AHTF project coordinators • Anti-heroin/opioid/drug analysts • Travel/training costs to attend AHTF related training and technical assistance classes, or to visit a site specified in the application. • supplies directly linked to the enhancement or implementation of the AHTF project. • Procurement contracts and consultants to support the AHTF project. Other direct project costs such as: • Software and prepaid warranties or maintenance agreements (not to exceed 36 months) • Overtime costs for sworn officers and civilians engaging in AHTF-related investigative activities Note: AHTF funding is not available for treatment programs or prosecution of other opioid-related activities. See the FY26 AHTF Application Resource Guide for a nonexhaustive list of allowable and unallowable costs. See the Eligible Applicants section for eligibility details. All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and any modifications or additional requirements that may be imposed by law.
