NOFO Language

The COPS Office is aware that some rural communities have limited financial and technological resources to train their law enforcement personnel, often extending beyond the availability of equipment, and that funding constraints can make it impracticable to send officers and deputies to attend quality training as travel costs alone can take a toll on a small agency’s budget.

Interpretation
