HAND'S ON RESEARCH & WRITING SUCCESSFUL GRANT APPLICATIONS

Every grant seeker must identify their agency, its need, and its position and then identify those organizations that most likely would be interested in funding a solution to their problem. The individual who starts out without knowing what a proposal is, what organizations are funding what type projects, and the different types of proposals for different organizations needs a basic guide - a kind of road map that tells one where to start when you don’t know exactly where you are going. The purpose of this course is to provide that kind of guide and to suggest a format for approaching and applying to potential funding agencies once they have been identified.

This will be a unique experience for most attendees: it is not like any other law enforcement training that you have ever received, with the exception of maybe your basic academy. There will be work, exercises, and home work. However, it is not complicated and once the techniques are learned you can position yourself and your department into a very comfortable financial future.

LEGAL QUESTION:
Response by Brian S. Batterton, J.D.

Jurisdiction in a "4th Class City"   
(8th Circuit Analysis)

I serve as an officer in a town in Missouri of approximately 1100 population. I had stopped a driver outside of my jurisdiction for a traffic violation. I had initiated all my emergency equipment prior to exiting the community to make the car stop . I stopped the driver and issued a citation for failing to stop at a posted stop sign. In court the issue came up that our town was a fourth class city, and I (or any other law enforcement of my town) could not exit the community to make a car stop. Apparently there is case law that addresses this situation. Is there any that you are aware of?
