Operation IMPACT Tools RFP
This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Operation IMPACT Tools Initiative
which augments the crime reduction efforts undertaken under Operation IMPACT. In
2004, the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services began Operation
IMPACT to support coordinated strategic crime fighting and violence prevention
initiatives in the 17 counties (Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady, Oneida, Broome,
Onondaga, Monroe, Niagara, Erie, Chautauqua, Orange, Rockland, Westchester,
Nassau, Suffolk, Ulster, and Dutchess) that report over 80% of the crime outside New
York City.
Operation IMPACT Tools was developed to extend the Operation IMPACT
strategy to the 40 rural and upstate counties (outside of the city of New York) previously
not eligible to participate in or receive funding under the umbrella of Operation IMPACT.
Although priority will be given to non IMPACT counties, those municipalities in the
seventeen IMPACT counties not receiving funds in the current IMPACT initiatives are
eligible to apply for funds to utilize IMPACT Tools under this RFP.
Applicants will be selected based on documented need, the quality of the
proposed program strategy, population served, the applicants ability to administer the
project, personnel qualifications, appropriateness of budget, projected outcome
measures, and the applicants past compliance with Division of Criminal Justice Services
grant programs. Priority will be given to applicants with elevated UCR Part 1 offense
rates (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle
theft) and strategies addressing the reduction of said crimes.
