FY26 COPS Anti-Methamphetamine Program

The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is the component of the U.S. Department of Justice responsible for advancing the practice of community policing and the Administration’s priority of Making America Safe Again by supporting the nation’s state, local, territorial and Tribal law enforcement agencies through information and grant resources. This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the FY26 COPS Anti-Methamphetamine Program (CAMP). This funding opportunity seeks to advance public safety by making competitive grants to state law enforcement agencies in states with high seizures of precursor chemicals, finished methamphetamine, laboratories, and laboratory dump seizures for the purpose of locating or investigating illicit activities, such as precursor diversion, laboratories, or methamphetamine traffickers. FY26 CAMP seeks to increase the number of hours devoted to statewide task forces, increase the number and variety of agencies participating in task forces, and enhance the analytical capability of task forces. As community policing is common sense policing, throughout the CAMP NOFO materials, the terms “community policing” and “common sense policing” are used interchangeably, unless otherwise specified. Allowable costs under FY26 CAMP include: • Salaries and fringe benefits for new, full-time sworn career law enforcement officer positions, including eligible rehired officers not supported in the local budget. • Salaries and fringe benefits for civilian/non-sworn personnel not already in supported in the local budget. Examples include: • CAMP project coordinators • Anti-methamphetamine / drug analysts • Travel/training costs to attend CAMP related training and technical assistance conferences, seminar, or classes, or to visit a site specified in the application. • Equipment, technology, and supplies directly linked to the enhancement or implementation of the CAMP project. • Procurement contracts and consultants to support the CAMP project. • Other direct project costs such as: • Software and prepaid warranties or maintenance agreements (not to exceed 36 months) • Overtime costs for sworn officers and civilians engaging in CAMP-related investigative activities Note: CAMP funds may not be used for clandestine drug laboratory cleanup, treatment programs, or prosecution of methamphetamine-related activities. See the FY26 CAMP Application Resource Guide for a nonexhaustive list of allowable and unallowable costs. See the Eligible Applicants section for eligibility details. All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and any modifications or additional requirements that may be imposed by law. Award ceiling: 2,000,000 CFDA: 16.072
