Opportunity Information: Apply for COPS AHTF APPLICATION 2019
The COPS-AHTF-APPLICATION-2019 grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office, focused on strengthening state-level investigations into heroin and opioid trafficking. It is structured as an open, highly competitive competition with limited funds, aimed specifically at boosting law enforcement capacity to investigate illicit distribution networks tied to heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, and the unlawful distribution of prescription opioids. The overall intent is not general prevention or treatment programming, but investigative and enforcement efforts that disrupt supply and distribution activities connected to these substances.
Eligibility is narrow and centered on state law enforcement agencies only. Applicants must be authorized by law, or by a state agency, to conduct or supervise anti-heroin and other opioid investigative activities. The solicitation explicitly signals that the COPS Office may cap awards at one per state when awards are announced, meaning agencies within the same state may effectively be competing against one another as well as against applicants nationwide. Because of that, proposals that demonstrate statewide impact, coordination, and strong operational credibility are positioned as more competitive.
The solicitation emphasizes that strong applications should show multijurisdictional reach and participation in interdisciplinary task force structures. In practice, this means applicants are expected to demonstrate that their investigative approach crosses city, county, or regional boundaries and involves coordinated team-based operations rather than isolated agency activity. The program places additional weight on agencies already participating in anti-heroin and opioid task forces that bring together multiple jurisdictions and disciplines, reflecting a preference for organized, collaborative investigative models that can address trafficking patterns that do not stop at local borders.
A notable competitiveness factor is the expectation that applicants support their proposal with multi-year, state-level primary treatment admissions data for heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, and other opioids. This suggests the COPS Office wants applicants to ground their enforcement strategy in credible trend data that demonstrates need, changing drug patterns, and the scope of the opioid problem within the state over time. Including this kind of longitudinal evidence is framed as a way to justify the proposed investigative focus and show that the applicant understands both the public safety threat and how it is evolving.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title COPS-AHTF-APPLICATION-2019 and number COPS AHTF APPLICATION 2019, issued under CFDA 16.710 in the law, justice, and legal services category.

Overall, this solicitation is designed to concentrate federal support on state-led, coordinated, data-informed investigative efforts targeting opioid and heroin distribution, with a clear preference for multi-agency task force operations capable of producing broad impact.Apply for COPS AHTF APPLICATION 2019
