The Non-Hiring Progress Report (NHPR)
solicits information about COPS grantees progress toward
implementation of their COPS Non-Hiring grants and their community
policing activities. To help manage the monitoring of grants, the
COPS Office must obtain updated information from grantees at
regular intervals. The new NHPR was part of a business process
improvement effort aimed at minimizing the reporting burden on COPS
grantees by streamlining the collection of progress report
information into one annual report (or quarterly reports as
required for community policing development grantees. Once OMB
approves this report and it is developed online (online development
completion expected January, 2008), the COPS Office plans to
eliminate the following progress reports that have been in use:
Training and Technical Assistance Semi-Annual Status Report
(1103-0043); Mental Health and Community Safety Initiative
Equipment and Training Progress Report (1103-0078); Tribal
Resources Grant Program Equipment/Training Progress Report
(1103-0087); Methamphetamine Project Final Update Report
(1103-0091); and the Methamphetamine Project, Status Update Report
(SUR) (1103-0092). In addition, the Annual Report to
Congress-Expired COPS Awards Exceeding $5 million (1103-0099) will
be modified to include only hiring grants.
As a grant-making agency, the
COPS Office is charged with monitoring each program, project or
activity it funds. The Non-Hiring Progress Report will be an
important instrument in the COPS Office's grant management and
monitoring plan, and will be used to measure our grantees progress
in grant implementation and to track the community policing
activities of grant recipients. The Non-Hiring Progress Report
solicits information about the grantees progress toward
implementation of their COPS Non-Hiring grants and their community
policing activities. To help manage the monitoring of grants, the
COPS Office must obtain updated information from grantees at
regular intervals. Progress reports help to determine the status of
implementation of community policing and purchases of equipment,
technology, training, and other items awarded under COPS non-hiring
grants. The Grant Monitoring Division uses the information
collected for pre-site visit preparation and the Grants
Administration Division uses the information to further enhance the
technical assistance and customer service provided to grantees. The
Program, Policy Support and Evaluation Division also uses this
information for evaluation of the programs funded by the COPS
Office as well as the development of future programs.
