Grants Planning

The Grants Planning Committee (GPC) serves as the State Advisory Group for Department of Justice and other public safety grants.

This Committee seeks to:

  • Direct grant resources to District public safety priorities.
  • Identify resource and programmatic gaps.
  • Evaluate existing programs/ grantees for impact on the District’s public safety priorities.
  • Foster the sustainability and reliability, and adaptability of programs that exemplify best practices and evidenced based approaches.
