This grant must operate a minimum of one year from the end date of the previous award. The Safe and Secure Communities Program requires that a municipality not reduce its baseline complement of police officers and other law enforcement personnel (as increased by personnel funded with this award) during the grant:period.

Two copies of the completed application (one with original signatures) must be submitted to the Program Development Section by May 10, 2010.
