COPS Hiring Recovery Program (CHRP) Application
COPS Application Attachment to SF-424
The COPS Hiring Recovery Program (CHRP) is a competitive grant program that provides funding directly
to law enforcement agencies having primary law enforcement authority to create and preserve jobs and to
increase their community policing capacity and crime-prevention efforts. CHRP funding is available to hire
full-time career law enforcement officers. There is no local matching requirement, but grant funding will be
based on your agency's current entry-level salaries and benefits for sworn officer positions. Any additional
costs for higher salaries and benefits for positions hired under the CHRP grant must be paid for by the
grantee agency.
In preparing your agency's grant application, please be advised that grantees are prohibited from reducing
state, local, or tribal funding for sworn officer positions as a direct result of applying for and/or receiving this
CHRP grant. Instead, this program is intended to supplement the amount of state, local, or tribal funding that
your agency would otherwise be able to budget for sworn officer positions.
In addition, at the conclusion of federal funding, grantees must retain all sworn officer positions awarded
under the CHRP grant. The retained CHRP-funded positions should be added to your agency's law
enforcement budget with state and/or local fiords, over and above the number oflocally-funded sworn officer
positions that would have existed in the absence of the grant.
To the extent possible, all data should come from a publicly verifiable source, and documentation may be
requested by the COPS Office. This information will be used to evaluate your jurisdiction's need for federal
assistance to address its public safety needs and to preserve and create jobs.

SECTION 3: CHRP PROGRAM REQUEST
Your agency may apply for COPS funds to use on or after the official grant award start date to hire new,
additional officer positions (including filling existing unfunded vacancies) or rehire officers who have
already been laid off, or are currently scheduled to be laid off on a future date, as a result of state, local or
tribal budget reductions. Please base your application request on your agency's current anticipated needs for
funding in these primary categories. Please also be mindful of the initial three-year grant period and your
agency's ability to fill and retain the officer positions awarded, while following your agency's established
hiring policies and procedures.
As described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide, it is imperative that applicants understand that the
COPS statute nonsupplanting requirement mandates that CHRP funds may be used only to supplement
(increase) a grantee's law enforcement budget for sworn officer positions and may not supplant (replace)
state, local, or tribal funds that a grantee otherwise would have spent on officer positions if it had not
received a CHRP award. This means that if your agency plans to:
(a) Hire new officer positions (including filling existing officer vacancies that are no longer funded in
your agency's budget): It must hire these additional positions on or after the official grant award start
date, above its current budgeted (funded) level of sworn officer positions, and otherwise comply with
the nonsupplanting requirement as described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide and Grant
Owner's Manual;
(b) Rehire officers who have already been laid off (at the time of application) as a result of state, local,
or tribal budget cuts: It must rehire the officers on or after the official grant award start date, maintain
documentation showing the date(s) that the positions were laid off and rehired, and otherwise comply
with the nonsupplanting requirement as described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide and Grant
Owner's Manual;
(c) Rehire officers who are (at the time of application) currently scheduled to be laid off on a future date
as a result of state, local, or tribal budget cuts: It must continue to fund the officers with its own funds
from the grant award start date until the date of the scheduled lay-off (for example, if the CHRP award
start date is September 1 and the lay-off is scheduled for November 1, then the CHRP funds may not be
used to fund the officers until November 1, the date of the scheduled lay-off), identify the number and
date(s) of the scheduled lay-off(s) in this application [see below], maintain documentation showing the
date(s) and reason(s) for the lay-off, and otherwise comply with the nonsupplanting requirement as
described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide and Grant Owner's Manual. [Please note that as
long as your agency can document the date that the lay-offs) would occur if the CHRP funds were not
available, it may transfer the officers to the CHRP funding on or immediately after the date of the lay-
offwithout formally completing the administrative steps associated with alay-off for each individual
officer.]
Documentation that may be used to prove that scheduled lay-offs are occurring for local economic
reasons that are unrelated to the availability of CHRP grant funds may include (but are not limited to)
council or departmental meeting minutes, memoranda, notices, or orders discussing the lay-offs; notices
provided to the individual officers regarding the date(s) of the lay-offs; and/or budget documents
ordering departmental and/or jurisdiction-wide budget cuts. These records must be maintained with
your agency's CHRP grant records during the grant period and for three years following the official
closeout of the CHRP grant in the event of an audit, monitoring, or other evaluation of your grant
compliance.
7'X]3300
When completing the questions below, please base your responses on your agency's current (at the time of
application) needs for funding in the three hiring categories (new hires, rehires of previously laid off officers,
and rehiring officers who are scheduled to be laid off on a specific future date). CHRP grant awards will be
made for officer positions requested in each of these three categories and recipients of CHRP awards are
required to use awarded funds for the specific categories awarded.
During the review of your agency's application, if the COPS Office reduces the number of positions you
requested in the application, the COPS Office may contact you to obtain a new number of officer positions
requested in each category.
How many CHRP sworn officer positions is your agency requesting (total)? 5
How many of the positions will be:
(a) To hire new, additional officer positions (including to fill existing vacancies that are no longer
funded in your agency's budget)?
(b) To rehire officers who have already been laid off (at the time of application) as a result of state,
local, or tribal budget reductions?
0
(c) To rehire officers who are (at the time of application) currently scheduled to be laid off on a specific
future date as a result of state, local, or tribal budget reductions?

of the lay-offs) and will use CHRP funds to rehire these officers only on or after the scheduled
date of the lay-off(s).
~ My agency recognizes that the CHRP program provides funding based on our entry-level salary
and benefits package and that any additional costs for rehired officers beyond entry-level are our
responsibility to pay with other sources of funding.
If an applicant receives an award, and after receiving the awards needs to change the hiring categories, it
must request apost-award grant modification to change the categories of hiring and receive prior approval
before spending CHRP funding by calling the COPS Office Response Center at 1-800-421-6770.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) requires grantees to report their financial and
programmatic progress within 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The Recovery Act reporting
requirements are in addition to quarterly financial status report and quarterly programmatic progress report
requirements. The COPS Office plans to request information from grantees consistent with Section 1512 of
the Recovery Act, including collecting information on the number of new jobs created and the number of
jobs preserved using CHRP funding. Awarded agencies will be required to submit information in a timely
manner as a condition of the award. The COPS Office is then required to post data from grantee reports to
Recovery.gov. Please be advised that the submission of programmatic and financial reports on a timely basis
is a significant condition of the CHRP grant and a violation of the grant requirement may result in
termination of grant funding or other remedies.
In order to aid in compliance with the reporting requirements, awarded agencies should be prepared to track
and report CHRP funding separately from other funding sources (including other COPS and federal grants) to
ensure accurate financial and programmatic reporting on a timely basis. Your agency should ensure that you
have financial internal controls in place to monitor the use of CHRP funding and ensure that its use is
consistent with grant terms and conditions. Good practices in this area would include written accounting
practices, an accounting system that tracks all drawdowns and grant expenditures, and the ability to track
when each CHRP position funded is filled or vacant (including if the position was for a new hire or a re-hire).

TX13300
Community Policing Plan Narrative (please limit to 2,000 characters)
Please describe your agency's implementation plan for this program (if awarded), with specific reference to
each of the following elements of community policing: (a) community partnerships and support, including
consultation with community groups, private agencies, and/or other public agencies; (b) related governmental
and community initiatives that complement your agency's proposed use of CHRP funding; and (c)
organizational transformation -how your agency will use these funds, if awarded, to reorient its mission to
community policing or enhance its involvement in and commitment to community policing. This narrative
will not be scored for selection purposes but serves, along with the previous questions, as your agency's
community policing plan. Your organization maybe audited or monitored to ensure that it is initiating or
enhancing community policing in accordance with this plan. The COPS Office may also use this information
to understand the needs of the field, and potentially provide for training, technical assistance, problem
solving and community policing implementation tools.
If your organization receives this CHRP grant funding, these responses will be considered as your
organization's community policing plan. We understand that your community policing needs may change
during the life of your CHRP grant (if awarded), and minor changes to this plan may be made without prior
approval of the COPS Office. We also recognize that this plan may incorporate a broad range of possible
community policing strategies and activities, and that your agency may implement particular community
policing strategies from the plan on an as-needed basis throughout the life of the grant. If your agency's
community policing plan changes significantly, however, you must submit those changes in writing to the
COPS Office for approval. Changes are "significant" if they deviate from the range of possible community
policing activities identified and approved in this original community policing plan submitted with your
application.
The Kerr County Sheriff' s Office is currently addressing measures and implementing programs to increase
community partnerships and support. Some of the programs currently being used are Neighborhood Watch,
Crime Stoppers, county-wide emergency notification systems, Identity Theft programs and DARE. These
new positions will be used for patrol deputies who are assigned sectors and encouraged to interact with the
public to build positive relationships. This has proven to be very effective in increasing the number of tips
that has led to the solving of crimes and also information that has assisted in the prevention of crime. These
positions will allow us to not only have a more effective patrol to prevent crime, but will also enable us to
respond to calls more quickly. The Kerr County Sheriff's Office also works closely with other law
enforcement agencies to share intelligence information and ways to prevent and solve crimes. A portion of
the mission statement for the Kerr County Sheriff's Office states, "The Sheriff recognizes that no law
enforcement agency can operate at its maximum potential without supportive input from the citizens to
reduce and limit the opportunities for crime and to assist in bringing to justice those that break the law".
TX13300
CP1) To what extent is there community support in your jurisdiction for implementing the proposed grant
activities?
^ a) Minimal support
^ b) Moderate support
Q c) High level of support
CP2) If awarded, to what extent will the grant activities impact the other components of the criminal justice
system in your jurisdiction?
^ a) Potentially increased burden
^ b) No change in burden
Q c) Potentially decreased burden
SECTION 6: CONTINUATION OF PROJECT AFTER FEDERAL
FUNDING ENDS
Applicants must plan to retain all sworn officer positions awarded under the CHRP grant for a minimum of
12 months at the conclusion of 36 months of federal funding for each position. The retained CHRP-funded

of grant funding, over and above the number oflocally-funded sworn officer positions that would have
existed in the absence of the grant. At the time of grant application, applicants must affirm that they plan to
retain the positions and identify the planned source(s) of retention funding. We understand that your agency's
source(s) of retention funding may change during the life of the grant. Your agency should maintain proper
documentation of any changes in the event of an audit, monitoring or other evaluation of your grant
compliance. Please refer to the frequently asked questions on retention which can be found here
http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/Default.asp?Item=2115.
