2012 COPS Hiring Program (CHP)

The COPS Office is pleased to have announced the award of 221 FY 2012 COPS Hiring Program (CHP) grants for approximately $111 million on June 25th, 2012. In addition to these grants, nearly $3.6 million in funding awards were announced on September 27th, 2012 to 12 law enforcement agencies.

2012 CHP grants provide 75 percent of the approved entry-level salaries and fringe benefits of each newly hired and/or rehired full-time officer, up to $125,000 per officer position, over the three year (36 month) grant period. CHP grants may be used on or after the official grant award start date to: (1) hire new officers (including filling existing officer vacancies that are no longer funded in an agency’s budget); (2) rehire officers already laid off by any jurisdiction as a result of state, local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) budget reductions unrelated to the receipt of grant funding; and/or (3) rehire officers scheduled to be laid off by the grantee’s jurisdiction on a specific future date as a result of state, local, or BIA budget reductions unrelated to the receipt of grant funding.

For any new hire positions awarded, grantees are required to hire a new police officer who is a military veteran that has served after 9/11 for a period of no less than 180 days and has been honorably discharged. To access specific resources to recruit and hire military veterans, please visit our Vets to Cops page.
