The COPS Hiring Program grant will fund $625,000 while local grant match requirements will be $341,555 with an additional $292,054 in non -grant related project expenses. BACKGROUND: The 2022 COPS Hiring Program (CHP) is a competitive grant program that provides funding for three (3) years directly to law enforcement agencies to create and preserve jobs and to increase their community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts. All grant associated funding is based on our current entry-level salaries and benefits for new sworn officer positions and annual step increases per our current pay plan policy. Any additional costs for new officer positions hired under the CHP grant beyond salaries and benefits must be paid for by non -grant related local funds. In addition, at the conclusion of the three-year federal funding, grantees must retain all sworn officer positions awarded under the CHP grant for an additional budget cycle. DISCUSSION: The Fayetteville Police Department submits this grant application to fund a full-time violent crime/community outreach unit. The primary duties of this unit will be to respond to and investigate violent crime in Fayetteville and to perform community outreach efforts. The proposed staffing of the unit is one sergeant and four officers. This unit will be assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) but will primarily conduct directed patrol operations. The unit will also perform community outreach in an effort to develop relationships within those under -served communities suffering from high incidents of gun crime. We believe these relationship building efforts will improve communication and trust from the community members most impacted by the rise in violent crime. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: There is no budget or staff impact for applying for the 2022 CHP grant. Upon notification of the grant award, the City Council would be presented the opportunity to accept the grant Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 award, authorize five (5) new sworn officer positions, and approve a budget adjustment to appropriate funding for the grant funds, local match requirement, and non -grant related expenses. Attachments: Project Narrative Project Budget FY2022 CHP Grant Application 2022 COPS Hiring Grant Application Project Narrative In 2020, Fayetteville experienced a dramatic increase in violent crime. The Fayetteville Police Department recorded a twenty-five percent increase in violent crime. Fayetteville tied its all-time homicide record in 2020 with seven reported homicides. Overall calls for service increased over six percent, while response times were slower, with officers taking nearly four percent longer on average to respond to priority calls. Fayetteville also saw a fifteen percent increase in property crime during 2020. In an effort to combat the rising violent crime, the Fayetteville Police Department created a temporary unit to address gun and violent crime. A patrol sergeant, four patrol officers and a detective were assigned full time to the unit for approximately two and a half months. During their period of operation, the unit worked forty-seven shifts. During these shifts, the unit seized 20 firearms. Six of these firearms had been reported stolen. The unit made 13 firearm specific arrests. Five of these arrests were referred for Project Safe Neighborhoods cases with the United States Attorney's Office. Despite the unit's success at taking guns off the street, the officers were reassigned back to normal patrol duties due to staffing shortages. The Fayetteville Police Department currently has an authorized strength of 137 sworn personnel, serving a population of over ninety-three thousand citizens. The officer per 1000 citizen ratio for Fayetteville is 1.47 officers per 1000 citizens. The national average is 2.4 officers per 1000 citizens, and the average for Arkansas is 2.37 officers per 1000 citizens. Without federal assistance, it will be impossible for us to dedicate personnel to specifically address and combat violent crime in our community. The Fayetteville Police Department submits this proposal to fund a full-time violent crime/community outreach unit. The primary duties of this unit will be to respond to and investigate violent crimes in Fayetteville and to perform community outreach efforts. The proposed staffing of the unit is one sergeant and four officers. This unit will be assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) but will primarily conduct directed patrol operations. The unit will also perform community outreach in an effort to develop relationships within those under -served communities suffering from high incidents of gun crime. We believe these relationship building efforts will improve communication and trust from the community members most impacted by the rise in violent crime. The violent crime unit will partner with our newly established Crisis Intervention Team to provide social services advocate services to those in crisis. They will also partner with our Community -Oriented Policing (COP) Division to assist with their community outreach efforts. Community policing is at the heart of our organization. In 2019, the Fayetteville Police Department Community Oriented Policing Division hosted 194 community events. Most events were geared toward educating the community. The COVID-19 pandemic limited large community events in 2020 and 2021. However, we expect to host in excess of 200 community events in 2022. We believe through education and inclusion, we can combat firearm related crimes in our city. The COP Division is comprised of specially trained officers whose focus is presenting information to media outlets, neighborhood associations, social media platforms, businesses, churches, and other groups. These presentations can include information on safety, crime prevention, drug abuse, gun crimes and numerous other topics. During the grant period, our COP Division will be tasked with the following: a. The COP Division, with the partnership of local stakeholders, will create community outreach events in high crime areas as well as youth centers to help educate the community on violent crime and gun violence. b. The COP Division will create a curriculum for local business owners, specifically apartment complexes and hotel/ motels, to educate employees on how to identify possible criminal activity and what to do when it is identified. C. The COP Division will run an educational campaign using the Fayetteville Police Department's very robust following on social media to educate followers on the dangers of gun violence Fayetteville Police Department COPS Hiring Grant - May 2022 Total Grant Expenses - 1 Sergeant and 4 Officers Grant Split per Officer Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Total Grant ($125,000) $ 253,980 $ 222,895 $ 148,125 $ 625,000 Required City Match 51,555 100,000 190,000 341,555 Non -Allowed 179,609 56,207 56,238 292,054 Total Expense $ 485,144 $ 379,102 $ 394,363 $ 1,258,609 Fayetteville Police Department New Sergeant Expenses May 2022 Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant Step H Stea I Stea J Total Base Annual Pay $ 72,342 $ 74,464 $ 76,648 $ 223,454 Premium Holiday Pay 3,617 3,723 3,832 11,173 Sign -on Pay 5,000 - - 5,000 Longevity Pay 500 500 500 1,500 Education Pay 4,341 4,468 4,599 13,407 Specialized Pay - - - - Certificate Pay 1,200 1,200 1,200 3,600 Shift Differential - - Total Base Pay $ 87,000 $ 84,355 $ 86,779 $ 258,134 Fringe Benefits per Officer Medicare $ 1,262 $ 1,223 $ 1,258 $ 3,743 Health Insurance 8,243 8,243 8,243 24,729 Life Insurance 132 132 132 396 Retirement 21,320 21,932 22,563 65,815 Workers Comp 1,714 1,662 1,710 5,085 Professional Liability Insurance 300 300 300 900 $ 32,970 $ 33,492 $ 34,205 $ 100,668 Total Salary & Fringe per Officer $ 119,970 $ 117,847 $ 120,985 $ 358,803 Uniform, Equipment, & Training Per Officer Uniform $ 4,987 $ 600 $ 600 $ 6,187 Bulletproof Vest 1,810 - _ 1,810 Axon Officer Safety Plan 3,620 - 3,620 Duty Weapon 680 - - 680 Radio APX6000 5,324 - - 5,324 Academy Training - Per Diem 365 - - 365 $ 16,786 $ 600 $ 600 $ 17,986 Total Operating Costs for 1 New Officer $ 136,756 $ 118,447 $ 121,585 $ 376,789 Grant Split per Officer Year I Year 2 Year 3 Total Grant ($125,000) $ 50,796 $ 44,579 $ 29,625 $ 125,000 City General Fund (25%) 10,311 20,000 38,000 68,311 Non -Allowed 75,649 53.869 53,960 183,478 Total Revenue $ 136,756 $ 118,447 $ 121,585 $ 376,789 Fayetteville Police Department New Officer Expenses May 2022 New Officer New Officer New Officer Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Total Base Annual Pay $ 40,040 $ 42,037 $ 44,034 $ 126,110 Premium Holiday Pay 2,002 2,102 2,202 6,306 Sign -on Pay 5,000 - - 5,000 Longevity Pay - - - - Education Pay 1,201 1,261 1,321 3,783 Specialized Pay - - - - Certificate Pay - 300 300 600 Shift Differential - - - » Academy Training - OT 3,115 - - 3,115 Total Base Pay $ 51,358 $ 45,700 $ 47,856 $ 144,914 Fringe Benefits per Officer Medicare $ 745 $ 663 $ 694 $ 2,101 Health Insurance 4,709 4,977 5,211 14,897 Life Insurance 134 142 148 424 Retirement 12,053 11,882 12,443 36,378 Workers Comp 1,012 900 943 2,855 Professional Liability Insurance 300 300 300 900 $ 18,953 $ 18,864 $ 19,738 $ 57,555 Total Salary & Fringe per Officer $ 70,311 $ 64,564 $ 67,595 $ 202,469 Uniform, Equipment, & Training Per Officer Uniform $ 4,987 $ 600 $ 600 $ 6,187 Bulletproof Vest 1,810 - - 1,810 Axon Officer Safety Plan 3,620 - - 3,620 Duty Weapon 680 - - 680 Radio APX6000 5,324 - - 5,324 Academy Training - Per Diem 365 - - 365 $ 16,786 $ 600 $ 600 $ 17,986 Total Operating Costs for 1 New Officer $ 87,097 $ 65,164 $ 68,195 $ 220,455 Grant Split per Officer Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Total Grant($125,000) $ 50,796 $ 44,579 $ 29,625 $ 125,000 City General Fund (25%) 10,311 20,000 38,000 68,311 Non -Allowed 25,990 585 570 27,144 Total Revenue $ 87,097 $ 65,164 $ 68,195 $ 220,455 Grant Package https://justgrants.usdoj.gov/prweb/PRAuth/app/JGITS /3yZ6B.., Standard Applicant Information Project Information Project Title FY2022 COPS Hiring Grant Federal Estimated Funding (Federal Share) 625000 00 Total Estimated Funding 850000.00 Proposed Project Start Date 10/1 /22 Applicant Estimated Funding (Non - Federal Share) 225000.00 Areas Affected by Project (Cities, Counties, States, etc.) Fayetteville, AR Type Of Applicant Type of Applicant 1: Select Applicant Type: C: City or Township Government Type of Applicant 2: Select Applicant Type: Type of Applicant 3: Select Applicant Type: Other (specify): Application Submitter Contact Information Application POC Prefix Name Application POC First Name Willie Application POC Suffix Name Organizational Affiliation Fayetteville Police Department Phone Number 479-587-3581 Application POC Middle Name Title Support Services Manager Fax Number Proposed Project End Date 9/30/26 Program Income Estimated Funding 0.00 Application POC Last Name Newman Email ID wnewman@fayetteville-ar.gov 2 of 44 5/19/2022, 1:06 PM Grant Package https://justgrants.usdoj.gov/prweb/PRAuth/app/JGITS /3yZ6B...

FY 2022 CHP awards cover up to 75 percent of the entry-level salary and fringe benefits for each approved position for a three-year funding period, based on the applicant's current entry level salary levels for full-time officers. There is a minimum 25 percent local cash match (cost share) requirement unless a waiver is approved. The maximum federal share per officer position is $125,000 over the three-year period, (not $125,00 per year) unless a local match waiver is approved. Any additional costs for higher than entry-level salaries and fringe benefits will be the responsibility of the recipient agency. Please keep in mind that there is a 12-month retention requirement for each officer position funded. The number of officers you request cannot exceed 20% of your agency's current actual sworn force, with a maximum of 50 officers for any agency. Agencies with fewer than 5 officers may request one officer. The COPS Office will fund as many positions as possible for successful applicants; however, the number of officer positions requested by an agency may be reduced based on the availability of funding and other programmatic considerations. 19. How many entry-level, full-time officer positions is your agency requesting in this application? Instructions: IMPORTANT: Next, your agency must allocate the number of positions requested under each of the three hiring categories described below based on your agency's current needs at the time of this application. Be mindful of your agency's ability to fill and retain the 8 of 44 5/19/2022, 1:06 PM Grant Package https://justgrants.usdoj.gov/prweb/PRAuth/app/JGITS /3yZ6B... officer positions awarded, while following your agency's established hiring policies and procedures. CHIP awards will be made for officer positions requested in each of the three hiring categories, and recipients are required to use awarded funds for the specific categories awarded. It is imperative that your agency understand that the COPS Office statutory nonsupplanting requirement mandates that award funds may only be used to supplement (increase) a recipient's law enforcement budget for sworn officer positions and may not supplant (replace) state, local, or tribal funds that a recipient otherwise would have spent on officer positions if it had not received an award. This means that if your agency plans to: (a) Hire new officer positions (including filling existing vacancies that are no longer funded in your agency's budget): Your agency must hire these new additional positions on or after the official 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 award owner's manual. (b) Rehire officers who have been laid off by any jurisdiction as a result of state, local, or tribal budget reductions: Your agency must rehire the Category A: New, additional officer positions (including filling existing vacancies no longer funded in your agency's budget). 20a.

My agency recognizes that the CHP 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. Instructions: Although hiring military veterans as new hires is not an award requirement, applicants who commit to hiring or rehiring at least one military veteran will receive additional consideration for CHP funding. If your agency checks "yes" to the question below, your agency will be required to maintain documentation that it made every effort possible (consistent with your internal procedures and policies) to hire at least one military veteran. Under this solicitation, a military veteran is defined as a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released there from under conditions other than dishonorable. 23.

No SRO Instructions: If your agency requests officers to be deployed as school resource officers (SRO), please do not request more officer positions than your agency can expect to deploy in this capacity. A "school resource officer" is a career law enforcement officer, with sworn authority, who is engaged in community policing activities and is assigned by the employing agency to work in collaboration with schools. There must be an increase in the level of community policing activities performed in and around primary or secondary schools in the agency's jurisdiction as a result of the award. The time commitment of the funded officers must be above and beyond the amount of time that the agency devoted to the schools before receiving the award. Recipients using CHP funding to hire or deploy SROs into schools must submit to the COPS Office a signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the law enforcement agency and the school partner(s) before obligating or drawing down funds under this award. An MOU is not required at the time of application; however, if the law enforcement agency already has an MOU in place that is applicable to the partnership, the MOU can be uploaded as an attachment in the section of the application titled "MOUs and other Supporting Documents". The MOU must contain the following: the purpose of the MOU; clearly defined roles and responsibilities of the school district and the law enforcement agency focusing officers' roles on safety, information sharing, supervision responsibility; chain of command for the SRO; and signatures. If awarded, a recipient must submit an MOU to the COPS Office within 90 days from the date shown on the award congratulatory letter. Implementation of the CHP award without submission and acceptance of the required MOU may result in expenditures not being reimbursed by the COPS Office and/or award de -obligation. 24a.

If awarded funds, your narrative responses in the text boxes below will constitute your agency's community policing strategy under this award. Your organization may be audited or monitored to ensure that it is initiating or enhancing community policing in accordance with this strategy. 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. Please note that the COPS Office recognizes that your COPS Office -funded officer(s) (or an equal number of veteran officers who are redeployed after hiring the entry-level COPS Office funded officers) will engage in a variety of community policing activities and strategies, including participating in some or all aspects of your identified community policing strategy. Your community -policing strategy may be influenced and impacted by others within and outside of your organization, as this is considered beneficial to your community policing efforts. At any time during your award period, you should be prepared to demonstrate (1) the community policing activities engaged in prior to the award that are detailed in this application and (2) how the award funds and award -funded officers (or an equal number of redeployed veteran officers) were specifically used to enhance (increase) or initiate community policing activities according to your community policing strategy contained in this application. Community policing needs may change during the life of your award. Minor changes to this strategy may be made without prior approval of the COPS Office; however, the recipient will be required to report on progress or changes to the community policing strategy (if any) through the required performance reports. If your agency's community policing strategy changes significantly, you must submit those changes to the COPS Office for approval. Changes are significant if they deviate from the specific crime problems originally identified and approved in the community policing strategy submitted with the application. In some cases, in reviewing performance reports, the COPS Office may identify significant changes in community policing strategies that require explanation and request for approval. Applicants that choose problem areas that receive additional priority consideration will not be able to change from these problem/focus areas if awarded CHP funding, The following is the COPS Office definition of community policing that emphasizes the primary components of community partnerships, organizational transformation, and problem solving. Please refer to the COPS Office web site (https://cops.usdoj.gov) for further information regarding this definition. Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies that support the systematic use of partnerships and problem solving techniques to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues, such as violent crime, non-violent crime, and fear of crime. The COPS Office has developed the following list of primary sub -elements of community policing. Please refer to the COPS Office Community Policing Defined publication for further information regarding these sub -elements. Community Partnerships: Collaborative partnerships between the law enforcement agency and the individuals and organizations they serve to both develop solutions to problems and increase trust in police.

In this section, you will be asked to identify the crime and disorder problem or a focus area and the partners to be engaged through your requested COPS Office funding. Identifying the specific problem/focus area and partnerships that your agency plans to focus on is important to ensure that you satisfy the requirements for COPS Office funding under this program and to ensure that ultimately the additional award -funded officers (or equivalent number of redeployed veteran officers) will initiate or enhance your agency's capacity to implement community policing strategies and approaches. Using the following list, select a problem/focus area that will be addressed by the officer(s) requested in this application. Please choose the option that best fits your problem area. You may only select one problem/focus area to address through this award funding. When identifying a problem, it is important to think about the nature of similar incidents that taken together 50.

[Please limit your response to a maximum of 125 words.] In 2020, Fayetteville experienced a dramatic increase in violent crime. The Fayetteville Police Department recorded a twenty-five percent increase in violent crime. Fayetteville tied its all-time homicide record in 2020 with seven reported homicides. Overall calls for service increased over six percent, while response times were slower, with officers taking nearly four percent longer on average to respond to priority calls. Fayetteville also saw a fifteen percent increase in property crime during 2020. 50b.

Applicants may review the COPS Office web page on Community Violence Interventions for ideas on strategies. [Please limit your response to a maximum of 250 words.] In an effort to combat the rising violent crime, the Fayetteville Police Department created a temporary unit to address gun and violent crime. A patrol sergeant, four patrol officers and a detective were assigned full time to the unit for approximately two and a half months. During their period of operation, the unit worked forty-seven shifts. During these shifts the unit seized 20 firearms. Six of these firearms had been reported stolen. The unit made 13 firearm specific arrests. Five of these arrests were referred for Project Safe Neighborhoods cases with the United States Attorney's Office. Despite the unit's success at taking guns off the street, the officers were reassigned back to normal patrol duties due to staffing shortages. The Fayetteville Police Department submits this proposal to fund a full-time violent crime/community outreach unit. The primary duties of this unit will be to respond to and investigate violent crime in Fayetteville and to perform community outreach efforts. The proposed staffing of the unit is one sergeant and four officers. This unit will be assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) but will primarily conduct directed patrol operations. The unit will also perform community outreach in an effort to develop relationships within those under -served communities suffering from high incidents of gun crime.

Explain how the grant will be utilized to reorient your law enforcement agency's mission toward community -oriented policing or enhance its involvement in or commitment to community -oriented policing. [Please limit your response to a maximum of 500 words.] Community Policing is at the heart of our organization. In 2019, the Fayetteville Police Department Community Policing (COP) Division hosted 194 community events. Most events were geared toward educating the community. The COVID-19 pandemic limited large community events in 2020 and 2021. However, we expect to host in excess of 200 community events in 2022. We believe through education and inclusion, we can combat firearm related crimes in our city. The FPD's Community -Oriented Policing Division (COP) is comprised of specially trained officers whose focus is presenting information to media outlets, neighborhood associations, social media platforms, businesses, churches, and other groups, These presentations can include information on safety, crime prevention, drug abuse, gun crimes and numerous other topics. The FPD COP Division has had recent success with community engagement by partnering with our local food pantry and delivering food baskets to an apartment complex in an area identified as a hot spot for shootings and violent crime, The calls for service in this area have noticeably decreased as this outreach continues. Our Community Oriented Policing Division will be tasked with the following: a. The COP Division, with the partnership of local stake holders, will create community outreach events in high crime areas as well as youth centers to help educate the community on violent crime and gun violence. b. The COP Division will create a curriculum for local business owners, specifically apartment complexes and hotel/ motels to educate employees on how to identify possible criminal activity and what to do when it is identified, c. The COP Division will run an educational campaign using the Fayetteville Police Department's very robust following on social media to educate followers on the dangers of gun violence, PERSISTENT POVERTY Please refer to the U.S. Census Bureau's, Historical County Level Poverty Estimates Tool.

Please do so in the space below, [Please limit your response to a maximum of 500 words.] In 2021, we assigned 5 officers to a 6-week long violent crime response unit to address our drastic increase in gun/violent incidents. This temporary unit was very effective, but unsustainable due to budgetary limits on personnel expenses and staffing shortages. Our general revenue continues to lag due to across the board increases in expenses of existing services. The Fayetteville Police Department currently has an authorized strength of 137 sworn personnel, serving a population of over ninety-three thousand citizens. The officer per 1000 citizen ratio for Fayetteville is 1.47 officers per 1000 citizens, The national average is 2.4 officers per 1000 citizens, and the average for Arkansas is 2.37 officers per 1000 citizens. Without federal assistance, it will be impossible for us to dedicate personnel to specifically address and combat violent crime in our community.

Length of Non -Federal Federal Description Quantity Basis Costs Time Total Costs Contribution Request No items Other Costs Total Cost $0.00 Indirect Costs Instructions Indirect costs are allowed only if: a) the applicant has a current, federally approved indirect cost rate; or b) the applicant is eligible to use and elects to use the "de minimis" indirect cost rate described in 2 C.F.R. 200.414(f). (See paragraph D.1.1b, in Appendix VII to Part 200—States and Local Government and Indian Tribe Indirect Cost Proposals for a description of entities that may not elect to use the "de minimis" rate.) An applicant with a current, federally approved indirect cost rate must attach a copy of the rate approval, (a fully -executed, negotiated agreement). If the applicant does not have an approved rate, one can be requested by contacting the applicant's cognizant Federal agency, which will review all documentation and approve a rate for the applicant organization, or if the applicant's accounting system permits, costs may be allocated in the direct costs categories. (Applicant Indian tribal governments, in particular, should review Appendix VII to Part 200—States and Local Government and Indian Tribe Indirect Cost Proposals regarding submission and documentation of indirect cost proposals.) All requested information must be included in the budget detail worksheet and budget narrative. In order to use the "de minimis" indirect rate an applicant would need to attach written documentation to the application that advises DOJ of both the applicant's eligibility (to use the "de minimis" rate) and its election.
