Multiple law enforcement agencies (LEAs) within the same jurisdiction must submit their own application <br /> information and vest needs to the jurisdiction. The jurisdiction will then submit the LEA applications in one <br /> submission to BJA. This includes colleges and universities. All public colleges and universities are considered <br /> LEAs under their respective jurisdiction. <br /> 5. To ensure that program participants are submitting applications that accurately reflect their vest needs for the <br /> next two years,please review the program guidance below. Prior to submitting an application for FY 2020 BVP <br /> funds: <br /> a. Verify that the number of vests indicated on the application does not exceed actual agency needs. Review all <br /> currently deployed vests for those that will need to be replaced during the next two years, according to the <br /> replacement cycle indicated on your BVP system profile. Applications for funds should reflect the number of <br /> vests your agency needs to replace within the next two years, and vests for officers your agency anticipates <br /> hiring in the next two years. (New hires can be anticipated based on the average number of officers hired over <br /> the most recent three years.) <br /> b. Ensure that the application accurately reflects the current market cost for the vests identified on the <br /> application. <br /> c. Review previous year(s) BVP funding to identify any unspent funds that might currently be available for <br /> BVP needs. <br /> Your careful attention to actual vest needs will help ensure that all eligible jurisdictions submitting requests will <br /> receive the maximum award allowable based on the appropriation and distribution guidelines. <br /> 6. BJA has completed user guides and training materials for the BVP application process and the payment <br /> request process.
