Funding For Vest Purchases
The Bulletproof Vest Grant Acts of 1998 (Public Law 105-181) and 2000 (Public Law
106-517) assist States (Includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islan
American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands), units of local govern men
and Indian tribes, In obtaining funds to purchase ballistic and stab vests for their law
enforcement officers. Any vest purchased after March 1, 1999 that meets applicable
National Institute of Justice standards Is eligible for funding, using an electronic,
Internet-based application and payment request process. The entire process of
obtaining federal funds Is completed through this web site.
Dates to Remember

Funding Umitatlons
The Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Grant Act of 2000 provides funding priority for
jurisdictions with populations under 100,000. Based upon availability of funds, these
smaller jurisdictions will receive the full 50% of requested funds In approved
applications. For larger jurisdictions with populations at or over 100,000, the prograrr
will pay up to 50% of each applicant's total vest costs, based upon any remaining fun
Specific funding levels for larger jurisdictions will be determined once all applications
have been submitted. Given the projected number of eligible jurisdictions and the
limited funds available, the BVP may not have sufficient funds to provide 50% for
applications from larger jurisdictions.
It Is strongly recommended that jurisdictions and law enforcement agencies not ordel
vests contained In their application untlt approved by the U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ), unless they have sufficient resources to cover Initial costs and any potential
shortfall that may result If less than 50% Is provided by DOJ.
