When funding is tight, look at grant funding for your agency
Law enforcement agencies in border communities face intense operational challenges that demand both advanced technology and effective funding strategies. With resources available through programs like Operation Stonegarden’s (OPSG) annual grant—as well as additional opportunities from federal, state, and public-private sources—agencies can unlock critical resources to enhance their security operations.
This webinar, tailored for agencies serving border communities, will explore how OPSG and other funding streams can support the deployment of innovative public safety technologies like ShotSpotter, CrimeTracer, and others.
Participants will discover practical strategies to identify funding, strengthen their proposals and learn how these technologies can improve situational awareness, intelligence sharing, and coordinated response efforts in border regions.
During this webinar, you will:
- Identify funding opportunities designed for agencies and communities near international borders, including OPSG, other federal and state grants, and public-private partnerships.
- Understand how technologies like ShotSpotter, CrimeTracer and others enhance intelligence gathering, situational awareness, and coordinated response efforts in border regions.
- Gain key insights into the grant process, including funding timelines, eligibility, and best practices for developing data-driven, competitive grant applications.
