CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2025-2625
MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 2026
TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THROUGH:
FROM: Mike Reynolds, Police Chief
SUBJECT: Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Grant Award for the Fayetteville Police
Department
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends acceptance of the non-matching Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) grant award for the
Fayetteville Police Department and approval of a budget adjustment in the amount of $33,629.76.
BACKGROUND:
The Fayetteville Police Department (FPD) has been receiving grant funding and participating in the PSN
program since 2019, with the Department of Finance & Administration, Office of Intergovernmental Services.
The application for this grant was approved by Mayor Rawn on June 5, 2025, and the FPD received
notification on December 9, 2025, that grant funds had been awarded in the amount of $33,629.76. The PSN
grant is designed to create and foster safer neighborhoods through a sustained reduction of violent crime and
works in partnership with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Arkansas. The program’s
effectiveness relies on the collaboration of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies working together
with the communities they serve.
DISCUSSION:
The FPD applied for the PSN grant for a total amount of $38,629.76, which included $5,000 in community
outreach projects, which were not funded. The awarded funds will be utilized for the following: $28,800 for
gun violence investigations and community response overtime, and $4,829.76 for the fringe benefits
associated with the overtime allocations. The grant period for this award is from October 1, 2025 to September
30, 2026. The notification of the award was delayed this year due to the government shutdown.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
There are no matching funds associated with this grant. A budget adjustment in the amount of $33,629 will be
added to the 2026 operating budget. There is no impact on staffing.

The details of the requirement are posted on the OJP web site at

award number (regardless of the award date, and regardless of whether derived

performance measurement information, in addition to the financial records,
supporting documents, statistical records, and other pertinent records indicated

Effect of failure to address audit issues
The recipient understands and agrees that the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or

requirements, if (as determined by the DOJ awarding agency) the recipient does
not satisfactorily and promptly address outstanding issues from audits required by
the Part 200 Uniform Requirements (or by the terms of this award), or other
outstanding issues that arise in connection with audits, investigations, or reviews
of DOJ awards.

Requirements of the award; remedies for non-compliance or for materially
false statements

of this award.
Limited Exceptions. In certain special circumstances, the U.S. Department of
Justice ("DOJ") may determine that it will not enforce, or enforce only in part, one
or more requirements otherwise applicable to the award. Any such exceptions
regarding enforcement, including any such exceptions made during the period of
performance, are (or will be during the period of performance) set out through the
Office of Justice Programs ("OJP") webpage entitled "Legal Notices: Special
circumstances as to particular award conditions"
(ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardRegts.htm), and incorporated by
reference into the award.
By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the recipient, the authorized
recipient official accepts all material requirements of the award, and specifically
adopts, as if personally executed by the authorized recipient official, all assurances
or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct
during the period of performance.
Failure to comply with one or more award requirements -- whether a condition set
out in full below, a condition incorporated by reference below, or an assurance or
certification related to conduct during the award period -- may result in OJP
taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the award. Among other
things, the OJP may withhold award funds, disallow costs, or suspend or
terminate the award. DOJ, including OJP, also may take other legal action as
appropriate.
Any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to the federal government
related to this award (or concealment or omission of a material fact) may be the
subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621,
and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273), and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties
and administrative remedies for false claims or otherwise (including under 31
U.S.C. 3729-3730 and 3801-3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or
unenforceable by its terms, that provision shall first be applied with a limited
construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be held,
instead, that the provision is utterly invalid or -unenforceable, such provision shall
be deemed severable from this
award.
