ROBERT CHAPMAN Acting Director Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice https:lljustgrants.usdoj.gov/prweb/P RAuth/applJG ITS_/3yZ6Bxxi_Ip DExTOT4XnAjzjAXmVNevW"/!TABTHREADVpyActivity=PrintWork&Prompt=fats... 112 11/2/21. 6:59 AM Funded Award (DOJ) has been delegated the responsibility for ensuring that recipients of federal financial assistance from the OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) are not engaged in discrimination prohibited by law. Several federal civil rights laws, such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance to give assurances that they will comply with those laws. Taken together, these civil rights laws prohibit recipients of federal financial assistance from DOJ from discriminating in services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sex, and, for grants authorized under the Violence Against Women Act, sexual orientation and gender identity. Recipients are also prohibited from discriminating in services because of age. For a complete review of these civil rights laws and nondiscrimination requirements, in connection with DOJ awards, see https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalOverview/CivilRightsRequirements.htm. Under the delegation of authority, the OCR investigates allegations of discrimination against recipients from individuals, entities, or groups. In addition, the OCR conducts limited compliance reviews and audits based on regulatory criteria. These reviews and audits permit the OCR to evaluate whether recipients of financial assistance from the Department are providing services in a nondiscriminatory manner to their service population or have employment practices that meet equal -opportunity standards. If you are a recipient of grant awards under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act or the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and your agency is part of a criminal justice system, there are two additional obligations that may apply in connection with the awards: (1) complying with the regulation relating to Equal Employment Opportunity Programs (EEOPs); and (2) submitting findings of discrimination to OCR. For additional information regarding the EEOP requirement, see 28 CFR Part 42, subpart E, and for additional information regarding requirements when there is an adverse finding, see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c) (5). The OCR is available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that are associated with DOJ grant funding. If you would like the OCR to assist you in fulfilling your organization's civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the OCR at askOCR@ojp.usdoj.gov. > Award Information > Project Information > Financial Information > Other Award Documents > Award Conditions > Award Acceptance https://jjustgrants. usdoj.g ov/prweb/PRAuth/app/JGITS_/3yZ6Bxxi_IpDExTOT4XnAjzjAXmVNevW"/iTABTH R EAD2?pyActivity=PrintWork&Prompt=fats... 2/2 1112121.7:01 AM Award Letter Award Information Funded Award This award is offered subject to the conditions or limitations set forth in the Award Information, Project Information, Financial Information, and Award Conditions.

De-escalation encompasses a wide range of options intended to allow first responders the time and https:l/justgrants.usdoi.gov/prweb/PRAuth/app/JGITS/3yZ6Bxxi_IpDExTOT4XnNzjAXmVNe"/!TABTHREAD2?pyActi0ty=PrintWork&Prompt=fats... 112 11/2/21. 7:02 AM Funded Award distance to respond to an incident appropriately versus react to the situation as it develops. It is currently infused into the department's annual training through dialogue and scenarios. Currently, the department has two full-time highly qualified skilled officers assigned to the training unit specifically dedicated to training both senior officers and new officers starting in-service training. Due to a recent influx in hiring and regular annual training it leaves little time for additional training tasks. Utilizing an outside trainer to instruct an in-depth (8 -hour) de-escalation training course at the department will allow the instruction to get done in a shorter time frame, instead of stretching the training days out for months to get all of the officers cycled through. Furthermore, this will alleviate the road patrol shift from running short and disrupting services to the community.

For detailed information on this certification requirement, see https://cops.usdoi.gov/SafePolicingEO. The Applicant acknowledges that compliance with this safe policing certification requirement does not ensure compliance with federal, state, or local law, and that such certification shall not constitute a defense in any federal lawsuit. Nothing in the safe policing certification process or safe policing requirement is intended to be (or may be) used by third parties to create liability by or against the United States or any of its officials, officers, agents or employees under any federal law. Neither the safe policing certification process nor the safe policing certification requirement is intended to (or does) confer any right on any third -person or entity seeking relief against the United States or any officer or employee thereof. No person or entity is intended to be (or is) a third -party beneficiary of the safe policing certification process, or, with respect to the safe policing certification requirement, such a beneficiary for purposes of any civil, criminal, or administrative action. 6.

Affected agencies may include, among others, Offices of the United States Attorneys; State, local, or tribal prosecutors; or correctional agencies. I acknowledge that a materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement (or concealment or omission of a material fact) in this certification, or in the application that it supports, may be the subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 and/or 1621, and/or 34 U.S.C. §§ 10271- 10273), and also may subject me and the Applicant to civil penalties and administrative remedies for false claims or otherwise (including under 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3730 and 3801-3812). I also acknowledge that the Department's awards, including certifications provided in connection with such awards, are subject to review by the Department, including by its Office of the Inspector General.
