Budget Detail Worksheets

Instructions for Completing the
Budget Detail Worksheets
The following Budget Detail Worksheets are designed to allow all COPS grant and cooperative
agreement applicants to use the same budget forms to request funding. Allowable and unallowable
costs vary widely and depend upon the type of COPS program. The maximum federal funds that can
be requested and the federal/local share breakdown requirements also vary.
Please refer to the program-specific Application Guide to determine the allowable/unallowable
costs, the maximum amount of federal funds that can be requested, and the federal/local share
requirements for the COPS program for which your agency is applying. To assist you, sample Budget
Detail Worksheets are included in each Application Guide.
Please complete each section of the Budget Detail Worksheets applicable to the program for which
you are applying (see the program-specific Application Guide for requirements). If you are not
requesting anything under a particular budget category, please check the appropriate box in that
category indicating that no positions or items are requested.
All calculations should be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Once the budget for your proposal has
been completed, a budget summary page will reflect the total amounts requested in each category,
the total project costs, and the total federal and local shares.
If you need assistance in completing the Budget Detail Worksheets, please call the COPS Office
Response Center at 800.421.6770.

A. SWORN OFFICER POSITIONS

ORI #:_________________________

No Sworn Officer Positions Requested 

Instructions: This worksheet will assist your agency in reporting your agency’s current entry-level salary
and benefits and identifying the total salary and benefits request per officer position for the length of
the grant term. Please list the current entry-level base salary and fringe benefits rounded to the nearest
whole dollar for one full-time sworn officer position within your agency. Do not include employee
contributions. (Please refer to the program-specific Application Guide for information on the length of
the grant term for the program under which you are applying.)
Special note regarding sworn officer fringe benefits: For agencies that do not include fringe benefits
as part of the base salary costs and typically calculate these separately, the allowable expenditures may
be included under Part 1, Section B. Any fringe benefits that are already included as part of the agency’s
base salary (Part 1, Section A of the Sworn Officer Budget Worksheet) should not also be included in the
separate fringe listing (Part 1, Section B).
Please refer to the program-specific Application Guide for information about allowable and unallowable
fringe benefits for sworn officer positions requested under the program to which your agency is
applying.

Part 3: Federal/Local Share Costs (for Hiring Grants only)
If the COPS Hiring Grant Program requires a local match, the grantees are required to pay a
progressively larger share of the cost of the grant with local funds over the grant period. Please
refer to the program-specific Application Guide to determine if this section is applicable. This
means that your local match must increase each year, while the federal share must decrease. Please
project in the chart below how your agency plans to assume a progressively larger share of the grant
costs during each year of the program. The chart is a projection of your plans; while your agency may
deviate from these specific projections during the grant period, it must still ensure that the federal share
decreases and the local share increases.

increase of the local share. This was achieved through the following calculations:
Sample Local Match: 25% of the total cost of all sworn positions – ($322,900.00 x 25% = $80,725.00)

C. EQUIPMENT/TECHNOLOGY

No Equipment/Technology Requested 

Instructions: List non-expendable items that are to be purchased. Provide a specific description for each item
and explain how the item supports the project goals and objectives as outlined in your application. Non-expendable
equipment is tangible property (e.g., technology) having a useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost
of $5,000 or more per unit. Expendable items should be included either in the “SUPPLIES” or “OTHER” categories.
Applicants should analyze the cost benefits of purchasing versus leasing equipment, especially for high-price
items and those subject to rapid technical advances. Rented or leased equipment costs should be listed in the
“CONTRACTS / CONSULTANTS” category.
Please be advised that, to the greatest extent practical, all equipment and products purchased with these funds
must be American-made.
For agencies purchasing items related to enhanced communications systems, the COPS Office expects and
encourages that, wherever feasible, such voice or data communications equipment should be incorporated
into an intra- or interjurisdictional strategy for communications interoperability among federal, state, and
local law enforcement agencies.
See the program-specific Application Guide for a list of allowable/unallowable costs for this program. Agencies
are encouraged to limit their requests to the lines shown below and group similar items together so that all items
are accounted for on the budget worksheet for each category. However, if your agency requires more lines please

Instructions: Itemize grant-related travel expenses of grantee personnel (excluding consultants, whose
expenses are listed in Section F) by event (e.g., mandatory training, staff to training, field interviews, advisory
group meetings). Identify the location of travel whenever possible, and show the number of staff expected
to attend each event. Training fees, transportation, lodging and per diem rates for trainees should be listed
as separate travel items. Grantee travel costs specific to the grant project may be based on the grantee's
written travel policy, assuming the costs are reasonable. Grantees without a written travel policy must follow
the established federal rates (found at www.gsa.gov) for lodging, meals, and per diem. For all grantees (with
or without a written travel policy), airfare travel costs must be one of the following: the lowest discount
commercial airfare, standard coach airfare, or the federal government contract airfare (if authorized and
available). Note: Any local training costs (within a 50-mile radius) should be listed under Section G ("Other
