About this grant

2026-2027 Law Enforcement Technology (LETech) Grant Program DCJS seeks applications from local municipal police or sheriff's agencies in New York State, outside of New York City, employing sworn officers with police powers to fund law enforcement technologies (LETech) and applicable software/equipment. Approximately $75,000,000 (seventy-five million dollars) is expected to be made available to assist law enforcement partners across the state in their efforts to support safe and vibrant communities. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate how their proposed equipment use supports the prevention and solving of crimes, particularly violent crimes by firearms and crimes of community concern (e.g., motor vehicle thefts), as well as serve as an integrated part of an agency¿s problem-solving and community-engagement strategy, helping to increase public trust and communication. Each eligible law enforcement agency may submit one application. Questions about this Request for Applications (RFA) must be submitted to dcjsfunding@dcjs.ny.gov by Friday, July 31, 2026. Responses to submitted questions will be posted on or about Wednesday, August 5, 2026. The deadline for applications is Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at 12:00pm (noon) EST.
