Announcement: Grant Fund Will Soon End

Posted by NRLEA under Latest News, NRLEA

BobCOP, LLC, The Elkan Group, LLC and the NRLEA and others involved in the Grant Fund for law enforcement have announced the money will soon be deferred to other areas of greater need and importance and the opportunity for agencies to purchase the BobCOP Systems at a very low price that is guaranteed by the grant fund to purchase the bulk of the cost will soon end.

Agencies have been slow to act and re-act to the offers since last March and many attribute their issues with their current budgets and time table to for the new year starting July 1. However, the lack of movement and idleness will cause this to end sooner than later.

“Either the police chiefs want to take advantage of a community policing tool that no one else offers and has been perfected by BobCOP or they just don’t see the advantage of having any system to help save them time and money for their city,” says Steve Adams, Executive Administrator (NRLEA).

“Over ten million dollars has been set aside for this project and its a shame that agencies are not responding,” says Anderson. The lack of interest of providing funding for this project is very weak and will cost agencies more money in the long-run for them to perform duties that could be completed online. One agency already lost bullet proof vests due to their hurry-up-and-wait attitude and city council to get things ‘approved’. It went to an agency that faxed a letter within 10 minutes with their city managers signature on it.

It is average that over 90% of law enforcement agencies nationwide do not respond to money that is out there for them. Why is this?
