Domestic Violence Unit Pilot Program (DVUP)

$5,000 – $50,000 per award

About this opportunity

The Domestic Violence Unit Pilot Program provides grants to law enforcement agencies and other eligible entities to help them meet District and Circuit Court guidelines for efficiently serving protective orders. The program aims to reduce the time between the issuance of ex parte and protective orders and their entry into the MILES/NCIC database. The program was created by the Maryland General Assembly in 2000; although the statutory pilot terminated June 30, 2002, the Governor's Office of Crime Prevention and Policy institutionalized the program and continues to provide grant awards with budgeted state funds.
