Dear Jeanetta McDonald,
On behalf of Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, it is my pleasure to inform you the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) has approved the application submitted by STOCKTON, CITY OF

The Award Instrument includes the Award Offer (Award Information, Project Information, Financial Information, and Award Conditions) and Award Acceptance. For COPS Office and OVW funding the Award Offer also includes any Other Award Documents.

Please note that award requirements include not only the conditions and limitations set forth in the Award Offer, but also compliance with assurances and certifications that relate to conduct during the period of performance for the award. These requirements encompass financial, administrative, and programmatic matters, as well as other important matters (e.g., specific restrictions on use of funds). Therefore, all key staff should receive the award conditions, the assurances and certifications, and the application as approved by
OJP, so that they understand the award requirements.

Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) are not engaged in discrimination prohibited by law. Several federal civil rights laws, such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance to give assurances that they will comply with those laws. Taken together, these civil rights laws prohibit recipients of federal financial assistance from DOJ from discriminating in services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sex, and, for grants authorized under the Violence Against Women Act, sexual orientation and gender identity. Recipients are also prohibited from discriminating in services because of age. For a complete review of these civil rights laws and nondiscrimination requirements, in connection with DOJ awards, see
https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalOverview/CivilRightsRequirements.htm.

Under the delegation of authority, the OCR investigates allegations of discrimination against recipients from individuals, entities, or groups. In addition, the OCR conducts limited compliance reviews and audits based on regulatory criteria. These reviews and audits permit the OCR to evaluate whether recipients of financial assistance from the Department are providing services in a non discriminatory manner to their service population or have employment practices that meet equal-opportunity standards.

If you are a recipient of grant awards under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act or the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and your agency is part of a criminal justice system, there are two additional obligations that may apply in connection with the awards: (1) complying with the regulation relating to Equal Employment Opportunity Programs (EEOPs); and (2) submitting findings of discrimination to OCR. For additional information regarding the EEOP requirement, see 28 CFR Part 42, subpart E, and for additional information regarding requirements when there is an adverse finding, see 28 C.F
.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c)(5).

The OCR is available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that are associated with DOJ grant funding. If you would like the OCR to assist you in fulfilling your organization's civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the OCR at [email protected].

Project Description
The Stockton Crime Gun Intelligence Center (SCGIC) will bring together local law enforcement, local and state prosecutors, and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) partners to address the precipitous increase in firearm non-fatal incidents and homicides occurring over the last several months. Although gun violence in Stockton, CA is a historic trend, recent efforts, including the implementation of Ceasefire, have brought the long-term trend line Project Information

down. Significant reductions in homicides from the 2012 high have also occurred, however, more collaboration is needed to further reduce and sustain the prevalence of gun violence. Stockton’s rate of violent crime remains four times above the national average. This grant will support Stockton’s efforts to formalize the interagency partnerships and infrastructure to ensure effective implementation of the seven essential elements of a CGIC. Once established, the SCGIC will work to prevent violent crime by linking guns to persons and crimes committed, completing thorough investigations and prosecuting offenders. These investigations and ultimate prosecutions will disrupt the systemic violence occurring in Stockton and support the intelligence led policing efforts currently in place. Specific grant deliverables include: revising policies and procedures to ensure timely entry of ballistic evidence into the national correlation center database; establishing a protocol for following up on investigative leads generated from ballistic links and evidence; sharing of intelligence gathered both on the street during investigations, and in the lab reviewing evidence with CGIC partners; promoting collaborative working group partnerships by tracking CGIC cases and discussing outcomes, and formalizing the working partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding to sustain the SCGIC for years to come.

I have read and understand the information presented in this section of the Federal Award Instrument.
