This page shows the user that is applying under the LEA handbook and information that will be requested of them about their agency. The name of the certifying official should be added at the bottom of the page.

Please note: There is a deadline date posted on the BVP home page. All applications must be submitted by this date to be considered for funding in the current year. Funding Limitations The program is designed to pay up to 50% of the cost of NIJ-approved vests contained in a jurisdiction's application. Given the projected number of eligible jurisdictions and the limited funds available, the BVP may not have sufficient funds to provide 50% for all applications. It is strongly recommended that jurisdictions and law enforcement agencies not order vests contained in their application until it is approved by BJA, unless they have sufficient resources to cover initial costs and any potential shortfall which may result if less than 50% is provided.
