Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants — CFDA 16.710

COPS grant obligations at $1.57 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.6 billion — $1,567,158,743.33 in obligations under CFDA 16.710. Two thousand eight hundred ninety-nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $540,000 per award — consistent with local hiring and partnership grants rather than a statewide block. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical officer salary or a per-department budget.

The assistance-listing title is PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERSHIP AND COMMUNITY POLICING GRANTS. CFDA 16.710 is the identifier. Other DOJ Byrne JAG or COPS hiring listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.57 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined justice-grant total this packet does not contain.

2,197 recipients across 55 states

Two thousand one hundred ninety-seven recipients share 2,899 awards, or about 1.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.57 billion evenly would assign about $713,000 per recipient. That pattern is close to one award per named local agency, which fits a COPS competitive and formula mix. The packet does not list the 2,197. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of officers.

Fifty-five states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus territories. COPS dollars in this extract follow that coded geography. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Two thousand one hundred ninety-seven recipients against 2,899 awards is a local-agency COPS file: almost one grant per named department. About $540,000 per award is hiring-and-partnership scale, not a statewide block. Fifty-five states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus territories. The $1,567,158,743.33 obligation stock is not an officer-FTE census, not a crime-stats file, and not Byrne JAG (16.738). Quote 2,899 as assistance rows and 2,197 as named organizations.

Award count is not an officer count

Among Justice assistance listings, 16.710 is a high-volume file: 2,899 rows against 2,197 recipients. Multi-year hiring rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique agencies. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of officers hired.” Recipients (2,197) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (2,899) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report sworn FTEs, crime rates, or community-meeting counts. Citing 2,899 as officers would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.57 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against COPS awards — are not in the packet. A local agency can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later hiring year. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 16.710 to size this Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as Byrne JAG, STOP School Violence, or FBI dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 16.710.

What the 16.710 tables omit

The COPS hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a hiring roster, not a crime-stats file, and not a department directory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,567,158,743.33. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2,899 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 55 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on salaries.

Where the 16.710 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 16.710 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Justice listings. For 16.710 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 16.710’s 2,899 awards spread $1,567,158,743.33 across 2,197 recipients and 55 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.3 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
