Summary:

The purpose of this program is to enhance the ability of state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments, as well as nonprofit organizations, to prevent, protect against, and respond to terrorist attacks. This program is part of the funding agency's comprehensive set of measures to help strengthen the nation's communities against potential terrorist attacks.

All assets supported in part or entirely through this program must be readily deployable and National Incident Management System (NIMS)-typed, when possible, to support emergency or disaster operations per existing Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) agreements.

Funding will be provided for the following program components:

  • (Part A): State Homeland Security Program (SHSP)

The purpose of the Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) component is to support enhanced cooperation and coordination among Customs and Border Protection (CBP); U.S. Border Patrol (USBP); and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to strengthen border security. Program objectives are to:

  • Enhance collaboration and coordination among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to strengthen border security
  • Support joint efforts to secure borders, including land and water routes, and critical travel corridors
  • Improve information and intelligence sharing to address border-related threats effectively

For FY 2025, jurisdictions are encouraged to participate in the Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Customs Enforcement 287(g) training program as part of their project efforts when coordinated with and endorsed by USBP.

All projects must address the priority area of supporting border crisis response and enforcement through the core capabilities of training and awareness, community resilience, operational coordination, and risk management for protection programs and activities. Examples of eligible projects include:

  • Enhancing collaboration and coordination among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to strengthen border security
  • Supporting joint efforts to secure borders, including land and water routes, and critical travel corridors
  • Improving information and intelligence sharing to address border-related threats effectively
  • Providing staffing support to expand 287(g) screening operations within correctional facilities
  • Operational overtime costs directly tied to 287(g) screening, processing, and enforcement activities
  • Training programs for state and local law enforcement officers in immigration law, civil rights protections, and 287(g) procedures
