flag A $100 million federal police grant program launched in 2026 remains unawarded due to slow uptake, technical issues, and strict rules, with only six departments applying.

flag Washington’s $100 million police staffing grant program, launched in 2026, has not yet awarded funds to any cities or counties due to slow rollout, technical issues, and complex requirements. flag Only six departments have applied, with many jurisdictions hesitant to impose a 0.1% sales tax or rely on existing public safety taxes. flag While Seattle has approved such a tax, only a small fraction of counties and cities have begun the process. flag The program allows funding for officers, training, mental health responders, and community safety initiatives but faces criticism for being too small to significantly impact staffing shortages. flag Strict eligibility rules and unclear guidance have caused delays, with award decisions expected after the March 31 deadline.
