2004 LAW ENFORCEMENT TERRORISM PREVENTION (LETP) GRANT APPLICATION

5/06/04

Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention (LETP) program is available to local law enforcement agencies.  Local law enforcement agencies can go to the OKOHS website or call OKOHS to receive an application for these funds.  Applications must be submitted to OKOHS by May 21, 2004.  Grant funds must be expended within a two-year period from the federal award date.

LETP funds will be utilized for two major areas: Information Sharing and Target Hardening.  Local law enforcement agencies may apply for funds in one or both areas.

A. Information sharing to preempt terrorist attacks

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation in cooperation with the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security, the Oklahoma Sheriffs¿ Association and the Oklahoma Chiefs of Police Association is developing a statewide information-sharing network.  Funds will be used for the design and implementation of an interoperable information-sharing network.   Recipients will receive standardized necessary hardware and software to participate in the standardized information sharing system. Recipients will be required to submit a Memorandum of Understanding and other necessary documentation to participate in the network.  By submitting an application applicants are only expressing their interest in participating in this network.  There is no need to submit a Budget Detail Worksheet.

B. Target hardening to reduce vulnerability

To apply for these funds local law enforcement agencies should identify the site or sites they are seeking to protect and also attach a Budget Detail Worksheet listing the types of equipment to be purchased.
