The Washington State Department of Commerce, through its Office of Firearm Safety and Violence Prevention/Community Safety Unit, is offering a grant program to Washington state law enforcement agencies. This initiative aligns with the Department's broader mission to enhance community safety and reduce violence by equipping law enforcement with modern tools and technologies. The program aims to address critical needs in public safety by focusing on improved vehicle pursuit management and overall operational effectiveness for law enforcement agencies across the state. The target beneficiaries of this grant are Washington state law enforcement agencies, including individual agencies and consortiums of agencies. The primary impact goal is to enhance the safety and effectiveness of vehicle pursuits and other law enforcement operations through the adoption of advanced technology. By providing these tools, the program seeks to contribute to a safer environment for both officers and the public, ultimately reducing the risks associated with traditional pursuit methods and improving the ability of law enforcement to respond to incidents. The grant prioritizes the provision of modern vehicle pursuit management technology. This includes, but is not limited to, global positioning system tracking equipment, automated license plate reading technology, aircraft, and non-armed and non-armored drone technology. The focus is on leveraging technological advancements to achieve more efficient and safer law enforcement practices. The grant also emphasizes a broad distribution of funding across Washington, with maximum award amounts tailored to agency size to ensure equitable access and impact for both smaller and larger departments. Expected outcomes include a measurable increase in the adoption and effective utilization of advanced vehicle pursuit management technologies by law enforcement agencies. This will likely lead to improved apprehension rates, reduced risks during pursuits, and enhanced overall operational capabilities for participating agencies. While specific measurable results are not detailed beyond the types of technology, the implicit goal is to improve public safety metrics related to law enforcement interactions and criminal apprehension. The program's success will be evident in the widespread implementation of these technologies and their positive impact on community safety over the grant duration of one year, from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) solicitation is a grant program designed to support the effective utilization of DNA technology in state and local crime laboratories. This initiative operates under the umbrella of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), the largest grantmaking component of the Department of Justice. The program's foundation is aligned with OJP's mission to advance work that promotes civil rights, increases access to justice, strengthens community safety, protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. By funding DNA analysis capabilities, the grant directly contributes to OJP and BJA's overall goal of providing federal leadership and resources to combat violent crime and enhance the nation's criminal justice system. The target beneficiaries for this funding are states and units of local government that possess existing crime laboratories capable of conducting DNA analysis. These recipients utilize the federal support to solve crimes and protect public safety. The overarching impact goals are to combat violent crime, support crime victims, resolve existing cases, and enhance the overall administration of justice within their jurisdictions. Related BJA programs, like the Comprehensive Forensic DNA Analysis Grant Program, further demonstrate this commitment by including various governmental entities, such as special district and city governments, as well as Native American tribal organizations, to broaden the reach of forensic science improvements. The primary focus of this grant is maximizing the effective utilization of DNA technology to process DNA samples for entry into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). This is achieved through BJA's forensic science programs, such as the DNA Capacity Enhancement for Backlog Reduction (CEBR) program and the National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI). These programs are specifically prioritized to increase the capacity of public forensic laboratories, reduce the backlog of DNA evidence, and improve the timeliness of testing. This focus ensures that DNA evidence from crimes is analyzed and entered into the national database as quickly and efficiently as possible. The expected outcomes are centered on increasing the operational efficiency and effectiveness of forensic science in the justice system. The measurable results include a direct increase in the number of CODIS-eligible samples analyzed and a reduction in DNA testing turnaround times. These efforts have demonstrated success in practice, with BJA-funded programs contributing to a substantial percentage of all CODIS hits, resulting in the identification of previously unknown suspects and providing critical evidence for the prosecution of criminal cases. This grant is part of the Office of Justice Programs' strategic priority to uphold the rule of law, keep the country safe, and protect civil rights by supporting law enforcement and justice practitioners. OJP's theory of change posits that by providing targeted financial resources and technical assistance, and by focusing on evidence-based, "smart on crime" approaches, they can enhance the capacity and effectiveness of state, local, and tribal justice systems. Investing in DNA processing and CODIS entry, therefore, is a key strategy for leveraging technology to increase the certainty of identification, improve public safety, and ensure a more fair and effective administration of justice.
