ABOUT THE CRI PROGRAM
The Collaborative Reform Initiative (CRI) program encompasses three components:
- Collaborative Reform Initiative Technical Assistance Center (CRI-TAC)
- Critical Response
- Organizational Assessment
These components offer expert services to state, local, campus, territorial, and tribal law enforcement agencies, ranging in scope and complexity at the voluntary request of agencies.
Together, the services are designed to; highlight best practices of law enforcement agencies and the many ways they are protecting Americans; enhance officer safety and wellness; build agencies’ capacity for self-improvement and effectiveness; and promote community policing practices nationwide.
The FY25 Collaborative Reform Initiative Organizational Assessment and Critical Response Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (O-COPS-2025-172392) will be used for the Organizational Assessment and Critical Response programs. The COPS Office is not seeking competitive applications for the CRI-TAC program.
