The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), terminated this project effective April 22, 2025. While this termination concludes active work, NPI has decided—at its own expense—to ensure that the resources developed on this website for rural and small law enforcement agencies remain available to support rural law enforcement agencies.
