Grants

As part of the Fiscal Year 2026 budget, the Legislature has appropriated funding to DPS for the administration of the following state grants:

 

The Local Border Support Fund, appropriated through Laws 2024, Chapter 209 and Senate Bill (SB)1735, shall be awarded in a competitive manner to multiple grantees. These funds are non-lapsing. Local Border Support line-item monies shall be used for grants to cities, towns and counties for costs associated with prosecuting and detaining individuals who are charged with drug trafficking, human smuggling, illegal immigration and other border-related crimes. 

Applications will be accepted through Friday, August 22nd, 2025.

 

 

Per ARS 26-106: The anti-human trafficking grant fund is established consisting of monies appropriated by the legislature. Monies in the fund are continuously appropriated. The Department of Public Safety shall administer the fund and distribute monies from the fund to city, town, and state law enforcement agencies to reduce human trafficking in this state. To be eligible for grant monies, an anti-human trafficking program shall do either of the following:

1. Work to reduce human trafficking by providing assistance and analytical services to law enforcement agencies.

2. Provide services to victims and training to law enforcement agencies, prosecutorial agencies and the public on preventing and identifying human trafficking. 

Agencies that previously reached the $500,000 funding cap for this grant may apply again; however, preference may be given to agencies that have not previously received an award.

Please note that non-profit organizations are sub-recipients of an agency and may not apply without an agency sponsor via a Memorandum of Understanding.

Applications will remain open until September 5, 2025.

 

The Fentanyl Diversion, Prosecution, and Testing Grant Program provides reimbursement to county attorney offices, courts, and law enforcement agencies for costs associated with investigations, testing, and prosecution or diversion of fentanyl related crimes. Resources are available on a first-come, first-served basis to criminal justice agencies until depletion of the total fund.

At this time, the fund has been put on hold while awards are made; thank you for applying. (July 22, 2025.)
