The $1,000 Reimbursement, for travel expenses to the conferences, is available ONLY to 2003 COPS TECHNOLOGY Grantees.
To help offset expenses to travel to the 2003 COPS Law Enforcement Information Technology Conferences, the COPS Office (through SEARCH) will reimburse each agency that received 2003 COPS TECHNOLOGY grant funding up to $1,000 (per agency) for actual expenses incurred to attend the Conference. Simply calculate your staff's expenses to attend the Conference, submit expenses to SEARCH and we'll send you a check. This sheet will tell you how.
Please note:
- Reimbursement is for actual approved travel expenses, up to $1,000. If your agency's actual expenses are less than $1,000, reimbursement will be made for that amount. Expenses exceeding $1,000 will not be reimbursed.
- Reimbursement checks from SEARCH will be made payable to the law enforcement agency, not to specific individuals. As such, you may use the $1,000 to cover travel expenses for as many attendees from your agency as you see fit. Since SEARCH will not be reimbursing individuals directly, we assume any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by your staff will be reimbursed by your agency.
- You are encouraged to send at least two representatives from your agency to attend the Conference.
How It Works
Step 1: Please carefully review the Travel Reimbursement and Business Expense Policy to understand what travel expenses are authorized for reimbursement. For example, hotel rooms are reimbursed at the single room rate, airfare is reimbursed for coach class, and meals are reimbursed at actual cost and cannot exceed specific totals per meal.
Step 2: You or your agency will make and pay for your travel arrangements, including air travel and hotel.
Step 3: When you or your staff arrives at the Conference, each attendee will receive a travel claim kit including the appropriate forms to claim actual travel expenses up to $1,000.
Step 4: Within 30 days of the Conference, please submit your agency's actual travel expenses, including airfare, hotel, mileage, and meal expenses to SEARCH.
Step 5: SEARCH will issue a check to your agency for attendee travel expenses up to $1,000.
