The bill submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser outlines the FY 2026 Grant Budget Modifications for the District of Columbia, specifically detailing federal grant requests from the Metropolitan Police Department. The modifications include the establishment of four federal grants: the COPS LEMHWA FY21 grant for $99,304.20, the COPS Hiring Program FY22 grant for $383,754.69, the National Criminal History Improvement Program FY23 grant for $297,332.38, and another COPS LEMHWA FY23 grant for $7,800.00. Each of these grants is aimed at enhancing the capabilities and resources of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The letter emphasizes the importance of these budget modifications and invites the Council to reach out for any clarifications or discussions regarding the proposed changes. The modifications do not indicate any deletions or alterations to existing legal language, focusing solely on the establishment of new grant funding for the police department.
