Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal 1: Safe and Secure Community
Executive Summary:
The City has been awarded grant funding for fiscal year 2026 for the Fayetteville Police Department through the North Carolina Association of Chiefs of Police Performance and Wellness Grant in the amount of $50,000. Council is asked to adopt Special Revenue Fund Project Ordinance 2026-7 to appropriate these funds for Performance and Wellness Grant Award.
Background:
The Fayetteville Police Department will utilize grant funding for software solutions to strengthen teams with increased physically and mentally readiness. Items requested include a Safety & Wellness Suite tool and a Talent Managements Suite used for performance development, team building, training and profiles.
In 2021, the North Carolina General Assembly passed Session Law 2021-138, which introduced significant reforms aimed to improve policing and criminal justice in North Carolina. In an effort to support our law enforcement agencies with these changes, the General Assembly authorized funds to be deployed as grants administered by the NCACP to enhance the performance and wellness of its law enforcement agencies and their officers.
Issues/Analysis:
The grant performance period expires August 30, 2026.
Budget Impact:
There is no impact on the General Fund fund balance.
