# Batesville FY26 COPS Technology Application The package identifies the opportunity as `"FY26 COPS Technology and Equipment Program"`, gives federal and total estimated funding of `$575,000`, a 2026-10-01 through 2028-10-01 proposed period, and an August 18, 2026 due date (`Grant Package A-529198 (redacted AR PIPA).pdf`, p. 1). ## Proposed activity The narrative proposes police radio and technology upgrades and says: `"Upgrades to the Real-Time Crime Center will allow local schools, hospitals, and small businesses to communicate directly with the Batesville Police department on tailored security solutions"` (p. 13). It further says those organizations will have an opportunity to integrate with upgraded RTCC technology (pp. 13-14). The application selects the option stating the agency would use funds, `"if awarded"`, to operate an interjurisdictional criminal-intelligence system and comply with 28 C.F.R. Part 23 (p. 15). It answers `"No"` to purchasing UAS with award funds (p. 15). ## Documentary status This is an application snapshot. It does not contain an award notice or submission receipt. Page 18 says, `"No documents have been uploaded for Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and Other Supportive Documents"`; the package also does not preserve a detailed budget artifact sufficient to identify the equipment and services that would be purchased. The RTCC language is therefore proposed future activity, consistent with the July 29 acknowledgment saying Officer David Rowe is slated to lead the center `"once the project begins"` (Gmail thread `19fadf8bb7a81ae8`). ## Open questions - Submission confirmation, award/denial status, detailed budget, and federal review correspondence. - Vendor-neutral specifications, procurement records, and any later MOUs with schools, hospitals, businesses, or agencies. - RTCC platform, location, policy, staffing, access, audit, retention, and operational-start records.
