What sets us apart?
Practical experience meeting academic expertise.
It is highly unlikely that the average grant writer will be familiar with police organizations, operations, or procedures. Further, they likely have no experience with police data, how to analyze it, and how to properly present it in a grant application. Some may never have even interacted with law enforcement before.
Police Grant Writing knows your world. With us, you’ll will be working with law enforcement grant experts that are previous law enforcement, graduate educated, previous federal grant reviewers, experienced educators, and researchers in the field of policing that have secured hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant funding. Our experience will put you in the best position to secure the funding that you deserve.
