Fraternal Order of Police
		Administration Releases Budget for Fiscal Year 2011
		The Administration released its FY 2011 budget on 1 February 2010. The National Legislative Office is just beginning to analyze it; however we do have a partial breakdown of some of the programs of greatest interest to the FOP: The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program formula FY 2010 enacted: $511 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $512 million Byrne Competitive grant programs FY 2010 enacted: $40 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $30 million The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) FY 2010 enacted: $829.1 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $730.3 million COPS Hiring Program FY 2010 enacted: $298 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $600 million State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) FY 2010 enacted: $330 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $330 million Adam Walsh implementation grants FY 2010 enacted: $0 FY 2011 Budget Request: $20 million Bulletproof Vest Partnership Act FY 2010 enacted: $30 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $30 million High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) FY 2010 enacted: $181 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $210 million We are especially pleased to find that the Byrne JAG and COPS hiring programs are budgeted at steady funding levels for FY 2011. Despite difficult economic times, the Administration’s budget for law enforcement shows an understanding of how important these programs are for State and local communities across the nation. The FOP also has also put together a partial breakdown of the budget request for law enforcement related programs administered by the Department of Homeland Security. State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSP) FY 2010 enacted: $890 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $1.05 billion Regional Catastrophic Planning Grants FY 2010 enacted: $35 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $35 million Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) FY 2010 enacted: $887million FY 2011 Budget Request: $1.1 billion Buffer Zone Protection Program FY 2010 enacted: $50 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $50 million Port Security Grants FY 2010 enacted: $300 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $300 million Rail & Transit Program Grants FY 2010 enacted: $300 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $300 million National Exercise Program FY 2010 enacted: $40 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $42 million Continuing & Emerging Training Grants FY 2010 enacted: $29 million FY 2011 Budget Request: $21.59 million We are pleased that several of these programs received level or even increased funding from the previous year, especially the significant increase for SHSP grants. These grants are critical tools for State and local law enforcement agencies in the fight against terrorism. The National Legislative Office will be working closely with Congress to ensure that throughout the appropriations process these law enforcement related programs are adequately funded.
