UASI ‘25 Grant Cycle

Most of the RDPO’s funding comes from the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). Some locally-contributed or reallocated funds may also be available. If you would like to submit a project for funding consideration, you must get it sponsored by an RDPO work group, subcommittee, task force, or governance committee well in advance of the application deadline.
