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 Preparing for Active Shooter Situations (PASS) Program.

Through the PASS program, the Department of Justice supports this priority by providing funding to deliver nationally recognized, scenario-based training that prepares officers, first responders, and mental health and social service providers on how best to prepare their communities for an active shooter threat or act of terrorism. PASS program funds are used to increase public and law enforcement safety nationwide by training first responders—including law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services (EMS), dispatchers, medical personnel, facility security, emergency management, and any other professionals who may reasonably be key to a successful integrated response—to handle an active shooter threat or act of terrorism. In addition, this program will provide priority access to training for School Resource Officers funded under the COPS Hiring Program, to support active shooter preparedness and response in primary and secondary schools. Training provided under the PASS program will advance the goal of the 2016 Protecting Our Lives by Initiating COPS Expansion (POLICE) Act in offering scenario-based, integrated response courses designed to counter active shooter threats or acts of terrorism against individuals or facilities.
