- Summary:
- The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program was created by Title I of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (P.L. 103- 322). The Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-162) reauthorized the COPS program through FY2009 and changed the COPS program from a multi-grant program to a single-grant program. Three bills introduced in the 110th Congress, H.R. 1700, S. 368, and Subtitle A of Title I of S. 2237, would, among other things, expand the scope of COPS grant programs, make COPS an exclusive component of the Department of Justice (DOJ), and authorize additional funding for COPS. Congress is considering the legislation in order to assist local law enforcement with investigating and combating violent crime, which, according to Congress, has recently increased.
