Federal,
state or local grants may be available to assit your agency
with the purchase of the L.E.F.T.A FTO software. As a
service to its customers, L.E.F.T.A will assist you in finding and
applying for suitable grants that will qualify for the purchase of a
field training software.
In
addition to locating a potentially appropriate grant, we will also
provide you with specific text regarding our FTO software, based on the
guidelines required by the grant. This typically includes the
statement of the problem, the solution, and the expected outcome, as
well as budgetary considerations. Since
every agency has its own unique circumstances, each grant application
will need individualized information. This will require
interactive participation between the applicant and the L.E.F.T.A Grants Coordinator. The
applicant's contact to work with L.E.F.T.A. on this should be the internal grants coordinator, if the agency has one. A
number of factors affect successful grant application for your FTO
software. The most important of these is eligibility, which is
specified in each grant solicitation. The second factor is how well the
proposed program fits the grant's guidelines. Agencies should
make these determinations prior to working on any grant application for
software to track their field training program.
Bear in mind that there may not be a suitable grant available. Based on past solicitation histories, L.E.F.T.A. can provide you with a list of potentially appropriate grants, along with their anticipated solicitation dates, if known.
Once
a grant solicitation is announced, there is typically a very short
turn-around time for the completion and submission of the application.
L.E.F.T.A. does
not sponsor any grants, cannot submit grants for you, and makes no
guarantees for approval. However, we will provide you with
professional grant guidance that can improve your chances for a
successful outcome. We believe that every law enforcement agency
should be able to have the best available FTO computer program on the
market to track field training of their new officers and we will do
everything possible to assist you.
We have put together information on current and upcoming grant funding opportunities here to assist you.
Please send all inquiries or questions about grants to grantinfo@leftasystems.org.
