The Weld County Sheriff's Office proposes to apply for funding to cover additional Naloxone (Narcan) purchases for Patrol and Detentions. The preapplication process requires to submit the application through Grants.gov by the 4th of June 2021, including SF - 424 and SF-LLL forms. The second step will be the actual application, which is electronically handled through JustGrants by 18th of June 2021. Additionally, we are requesting that the BOCC delegate authority for the Clerk to the Board to submit the grant application via Grants.gov and Justgrants on the Chairman's behalf. The application falls under the grant category 1, which covers local funding, and the purchase of Naloxone for Law Enforcement use is an allowable in this category. The WCSO received 200 doses for 2021 from the State of Colorado for distribution. Data shows that overdoses is on the rise within the last year. For that reason, the Sheriff's Office would like to outfit every duty station in the jail with Naloxone and have an adequate inventory supply for replenishing the patrol deputies, jail duty stations, the SOG team, and booking area in the jail. The COSSAP grant purpose is to develop, implement or expand comprehensive efforts to identify, respond to, and support those impacted by illicit opioids, stimulants, and other drugs of abuse. Narcan is a nasal formulation of naloxone approved for the treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. Designed for use in the community, Narcan Nasal Spray is needle -free and used for the treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose emergency with signs of breathing problems and severe sleepiness or not being able to respond. The WCSO proposes to apply for $8450 funding to purchase additional Narcan doses to be distributed to Patrol Deputies and Detentions. Sheriff Reams is in support of this application. What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options): • Authorize the Chair to sign the FY 2021 Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Site Based Program Grant funding application (COSSAP BJA — Federal Funding) in the amount of $8450, along with supporting grant documents. • Deny the grant application. This may lead to increased general fund dollars spending to cover additional needed doses for the WCSO operation. • Schedule a work session to discuss further. Recommendation: Authorize the Chair to sign and approve the FY 2021 Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Site Based Program Grant funding application (COSSAP BJA — Federal Funding) in the amount of $8450.

The Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Program (COSSAP) was developed as part of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) legislation. COSSAP's purpose is to provide financial and technical assistance to states, units of local government, and Indian tribal governments to develop, implement, or expand comprehensive efforts to identify, respond to, treat, and support those impacted by illicit opioids, stimulants, and other drugs of abuse. Statutory Authority 34 USC 10701; Public Law 116-260, 134 Stat. 1182, 1259. Any awards under this solicitation would be made under statutory authority provided by a full -year appropriations act for FY 2021. Specific Information Our nation's addiction crisis is a public safety and public health emergency that threatens the wellbeing of individuals and families struggling with substance abuse, and impacts the safety and health of communities. This crisis impacts first responders, the criminal justice system, child welfare and foster care, and behavioral health systems. Goals, Objectives, Deliverables, and Timeline COSSAP aims to reduce the impact of opioids, stimulants, and other substances on individuals and communities, including a reduction in the number of overdose fatalities, as well as mitigate the impacts on crime victims by supporting comprehensive, collaborative initiatives. Note that grantees are prohibited from using federal funds to support activities that violate the Controlled Substances Act. Category 1: Local applications The objective of Category 1 is to encourage and support the development of comprehensive, locally driven responses to opioids, stimulants, and other substances of abuse that expand access to supervision, treatment, and recovery support services across the criminal justice system; support law enforcement and other first responder diversion programs for nonviolent drug offenders; promote education and prevention activities; and address the needs of children impacted by substance abuse. Allowable Uses of Category 1 Funds Category 1 grant funds may be used to develop, implement, or expand a combination of the allowable use activities described below, or be concentrated on one, so long as the proposed budget is appropriate and justified. • Prebooking or postbooking treatment alternative -to -incarceration programs that serve individuals at high risk for overdose or substance abuse. • Law enforcement and other first responder diversion programs. A variety of multidisciplinary overdose prevention, response, and diversion and referral models, led by law enforcement and other first responders, have emerged in communities throughout the nation. Examples of such models include the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) model and the Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative (PAARI). • Education and prevention programs to connect law enforcement agencies with K-12 students. Applicants are strongly encouraged to implement programs informed by data and evidence and child and adolescent development. • Embedding social services with law enforcement in order to rapidly respond to drug overdoses where children are impacted. • Comprehensive, real-time, regional information collection, analysis, and dissemination. • Naloxone for law enforcement and other first responders. • Identifiable and accessible take -back programs for unused controlled substances found in the home and used by hospitals and long- term care facilities. • Evidence -based treatment such as medication -assisted treatment (MAT) as well as recovery support services including transitional or recovery housing and peer recovery support services. • Court -based intervention programs or family court programming to prioritize and expedite treatment and recovery services to individuals at high risk for overdose. Funding is available under other BJA solicitations to implement or enhance an adult drug court and/or a veterans treatment court. As such, implementing or enhancing these court models is not an allowable funding activity under this solicitation. Additional program information may be found at www.cossapresources.org. Category 2: Applications from states on behalf of county local, municipal, or tribal communities The objective of Category 2 is to support states in their efforts to implement and enhance one or more of the allowable activities detailed under Category 1 in a minimum of six geographically diverse counties, localities, or regions. The state may retain up to $800,000 in total (not annually) for administrative purposes and to support the mandatory deliverables. In addition to the $800,000 that may be retained for administrative expenses, a portion of the funds may be used to support an independent evaluation of project activities. The balance of the funds must be subawarded to local communities, regions, or tribal entities. Page 5 of 16 O-BJA-2021-94008 Deliverables for Category 2 • Select a minimum of six geographically diverse localities or regions within the state and provide subawards to them within 9 months of the grant award. • Implement one or more of the allowable activities detailed under Category 1. • Support a robust planning period for the sites, if needed, to support implementation efforts at each of the sites. • Coordinate cross -site training and peer -to -peer learning. If the proposed project is solely for program evaluation or includes an evaluation component, provide a copy of any evaluation report prior to the close of the grant period. Applicants applying for funding under Categories 1 or 2 must agree to work closely with a researcher selected by BJA who may conduct a site -specific or cross -site evaluation in future years. Program -specific Priority Areas In FY 2021, and in addition to the "Priority Areas" discussed below, priority consideration will be given to applicants that demonstrate the state, or regions within the state, has been disproportionately impacted by the abuse of illicit opioids, stimulants, or other substances as evidenced, in part, by: • A high rate of primary treatment admissions for heroin, opioids, and stimulants. • High rates of overdose deaths. • A lack of accessibility to treatment providers and facilities and to emergency medical services. To receive priority consideration, applicants must include a clear and complete description in the program narrative. Priority consideration is one of many factors that OJP considers in making funding decisions and is not a guarantee of an award. The Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables are directly related to the performance measures that demonstrate the results of the work completed, as discussed under the Application and Submission Information section. Evidence -Based Programs or Practices OJP strongly emphasizes the use of data and evidence in policymaking and program development in criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services. For additional information and resources on evidence -based programs or practices, see the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide. Information Regarding Potential Evaluation of Programs and Activities OJP may conduct or support an evaluation of the programs and activities funded under this solicitation. For additional information, see the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide section entitled "Information Regarding Potential Evaluation of Programs and Activities." OJP Priority Areas The Department of Justice is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights, increases access to justice, supports crime victims, protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. In FY 2021, OJP will give priority consideration in award decisions to applications that demonstrate ways in which their projects will advance one or more of these areas. To receive priority consideration for advancing one or more of the Department's priorities, the applicant must provide a sufficient narrative explanation as an attachment, that specifies how the project will advance the promotion of civil rights, access to justice, support to crime victims, protecting the public from crime and evolving threats, or building trust between law enforcement and the community. In addition, OJP will give priority consideration, if applicable, to applicants that demonstrate that the individuals who are intended to benefit from the requested grant reside in high -poverty areas or persistent -poverty counties. To receive priority consideration under the poverty priority, the applicant must provide information to demonstrate that the individuals who are intended to benefit from the requested grant reside in high -poverty areas or persistent -poverty counties. For purposes of this priority consideration, the term "high -poverty area" means any census tract with a poverty rate of at least 20 percent as measured by the 2013- 2017 5 -year data series available from the American Community Survey of the Census Bureau (applicants may search by census tract at https://www.census.gov/acs/www/data/data-tables-and-tools/narrative-profiles/2017/) and the term "persistent -poverty counties" means any county that has had 20 percent or more of its population living in poverty over the past 30 years, as measured by the 1990 and2000 decennial censuses and the most recent Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (applicants may search by county at https://www.census.00v/data/tables/time-series/dec/census-poverty.html and at https://www.census.gov/programs-survevs/saipe.html).
