Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) has been delegated the responsibility for ensuring that recipients of federal financial
assistance from the OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the
Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) are not engaged in discrimination prohibited by law.
Several federal civil rights laws, such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance to give
assurances that they will comply with those laws. Taken together, these civil rights laws prohibit
recipients of federal financial assistance from DOJ from discriminating in services and
employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sex, and, for grants
authorized under the Violence Against Women Act, sexual orientation and gender identity.
Recipients are also prohibited from discriminating in services because of age. For a complete
review of these civil rights laws and nondiscrimination requirements, in connection with DOJ
awards, see https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalOverview/CivilRightsRequirements.htm.
Under the delegation of authority, the OCR investigates allegations of discrimination against
recipients from individuals, entities, or groups. In addition, the OCR conducts limited compliance
reviews and audits based on regulatory criteria. These reviews and audits permit the OCR to
evaluate whether recipients of financial assistance from the Department are providing services
in a nondiscriminatory manner to their service population or have employment practices that
meet equal -opportunity standards.
If you are a recipient of grant awards under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act or
the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and your agency is part of a criminal
justice system, there are two additional obligations that may apply in connection with the
awards: (1) complying with the regulation relating to Equal Employment Opportunity Programs
(EEOPs); and (2) submitting findings of discrimination to OCR. For additional information
regarding the EEOP requirement, see 28 CFR Part 42, subpart E, and for additional information
regarding requirements when there is an adverse finding, see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c)
(5).
The OCR is available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that
are associated with DOJ grant funding. If you would like the OCR to assist you in fulfilling your
organization's civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the OCR at askOCR@ojp.usdoj.gov.

Project Description
To meet service demands and increase capacity, MPD is seeking $124,268 in
LEMHWA funding to support the "City of Miami Police Peer Program Expansion
Project. The goal of "City of Miami Police Peer Program Expansion Project" (Project)
is to enhance the lives of our officers by improving their mental health and wellness,
which in turn will give them the coping skills necessary to create positive

health and wellness support to 1,318 active sworn MPD personnel, 750 retired law
enforcement personnel, 1,800 partners/spouses and immediate family, 8
Detention/Correctional Officers and 414 non -sworn MPD personnel. If awarded,
LEMHWA funding will support the training of 60 additional PSP Team Members and
the implementation of a mental health and wellness mobile application, specifically
geared towards law enforcement personnel. The app will provide program
enhancements in training, suicide prevention, peer mentoring, clinical support, and
family support. The mobile app will also provide data collection mechanisms that will
allow the PSP Management Team to identify gaps in service and home in on usage
trends to better meet the needs of MPD personnel. With this expansion, MPD can
increase the sustainability of the PSP and help more law enforcement personnel to be
