Grant News by Kurt Bradley, CHIEF Grants
 April Recap - Public Safety Grants
Good luck to all the AFGP and BVP applicants out there. Both programs closed for applications in April, and are expected to re-open in March or April 2009. BVP applicants – don't forget that BVP-approved body armor is available from CHIEF. You can get quotes, measurements and orders in now, just call an account manager at (888) 588-8569.
The post-AFGP and post-BVP rush of applications often follows with a lull in grants, but don't let that be an excuse to rest on your laurels. Many programs are still open for applications, and we've outlined some great programs below. Now is also the time to get yourself enrolled in a CHIEF Grants Seminar – our next 2-day national seminar is in July, but we have a law enforcement-focused seminar coming up in Portland, OR, on May 19-20.
