## What the grant funds

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, BJA seeks to expand the adoption of body-worn cameras (BWCs) in state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies, including correctional agencies that perform law enforcement functions.
