Law enforcement agencies are continually asked to do more with less, leaving them with fewer financial resources to fund community programs and purchase essential life-saving equipment. In order to combat this financial deficit, many agencies turn to grant funding. Grants can be a great source for funding worthwhile projects, but it takes persistence, patience, research, time and follow-through. However, if you are successful at acquiring grants, you will quickly become the hero in your department and in your community. This document is located in the Core Database under document #610061.

It has been reported that approximately 3000 officers have been saved from death or serious injury by protecting themselves with body armor. Wearing body armor while carrying out the duties of a law enforcement officer will greatly reduce the risk of death and injury that officers face on a daily basis. Sadly, a recent report states that less than 60 percent of chiefs and heads of agencies require their officers to wear this life-saving protection while working. Vest for Life is a lifesaving project focused on providing officers who do not have ballistic vests with such. This document is located in the Core Database under document #609870.
