What should an agency do if they are awarded CHRP funds, but does not have a Central Contractor Registration (CCR) number?
• Agencies will be required to have a CCR number in order to receive CHRP funds. • For more information about how to register with the CCR, please refer to the How to Apply section of the COPS Application Guide. • Please note that applicants must update or renew their CCR at least once per year to maintain an active status. What should an agency do if it determines after submitting its CHRP application that it must schedule officer lay-offs and it now wishes to use CHRP funds, if awarded, to rehire laid off officers (or prevent a scheduled lay-off), rather than hire new officers? • If your agency does receive a CHRP grant, it will have the opportunity after the grant award is announced to request a grant modification to move funding into a different category before expending the CHRP funds. If your agency’s circumstances do change and you need a grant modification for this purpose, you may contact the COPS Office Response Center at 800-421-6770 after receiving your CHRP grant announcem
