Acting Assistant Attorney General
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) enforces federal
civil rights laws and other provisions that prohibit discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance from OJP,
the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).
Several civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance (recipients) to give assurances that they will comply with those
laws. Taken together, these and other civil rights laws prohibit recipients from discriminating in the provision of
services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, and sex or from discriminating in
the provision of services on the bases of age.
Some recipients of DOJ financial assistance have additional obligations to comply with other applicable
nondiscrimination provisions like the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of religion in addition to race, color, national origin, and sex. Recipients may also have
related requirements regarding the development and implementation of equal employment opportunity programs.
1.5 25-00107 Kent FY24 JAG MOU Contract Page 10 of 32
OCR provides technical assistance, training, and other resources to help recipients comply with civil rights obligations.
Further, OCR administratively enforces civil rights laws and nondiscrimination provisions by investigating DOJ
recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints. In addition, OCR conducts compliance reviews of DOJ
recipients based on regulatory criteria. These investigations and compliance reviews permit OCR to evaluate whether
DOJ recipients are providing services to the public and engaging in employment practices in a nondiscriminatory
manner.
For more information about OCR, your civil rights and nondiscrimination responsibilities, how to notify your employees
or beneficiaries of their civil rights protections and responsibilities and how to file a complaint, as well as technical
assistance, training, and other resources, please visit www.oip.gov/program/civil-rights-office/outreach. If you would
like OCR to assist you in fulfilling your civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities, please contact us at askOCR(a_o

Condition 3
Compliance with DOJ regulations pertaining to civil rights and nondiscrimination - 28 C.F.R. Part 38
The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements of 28

Among other things, 28 C.F.R. Part 38 states that recipients may not use direct Federal financial assistance from the
Department to support or engage in any explicitly religious activities except when consistent with the Establishment
Clause of the First Amendment and any other applicable requirements. An organization receiving Federal financial
assistance also may not, in providing services funded by the Department of Justice, or in their outreach activities
related to such services, discriminate against a program beneficiary or prospective program beneficiary on the basis of
religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice.
Part 38 also sets out rules and requirements that pertain to recipient and subrecipient ("subgrantee") organizations that
engage in or conduct explicitly religious activities, as well as rules and requirements that pertain to recipients and
subrecipients that are faith-based or religious organizations. In addition, Part 38 states that a faith-based organization
that participates a Department of Justice funded program retains its independence from the Government and may
continue to carry out its mission consistent with religious freedom and conscience protections in Federal law.
Recipients and subrecipients that provide social services under this award must give written notice to beneficiaries and
prospective beneficiaries prior to the provision of services (if practicable)which shall include language substantially
similar to the language in 28 CFR Part 38, Appendix C, sections (1)through (4). A sample written notice may be found
at https://www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/partnerships-faith-based-and-other-neighborhood-organizations.
In certain instances, a faith-based or religious organization may be able to take religion into account when making
hiring decisions, provided it satisfies certain requirements. For more information, please see https://www.ojp.gov/

Condition 4
Requirements of the award; remedies for non-compliance or for materially false statements
The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award. Compliance with any assurances or certifications

Limited Exceptions. In certain special circumstances, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOX) may determine that it will
not enforce, or enforce only in part, one or more requirements otherwise applicable to the award. Any such exceptions
regarding enforcement, including any such exceptions made during the period of performance, are (or will be during
the period of performance) set out through the Office of Justice Programs ("OJP")webpage entitled "Legal Notices:
Special circumstances as to particular award conditions" (ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardRegts.htm), and
incorporated by reference into the award.
By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the recipient, the authorized recipient official accepts all material
requirements of the award, and specifically adopts, as if personally executed by the authorized recipient official, all
assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of

Failure to comply with one or more award requirements --whether a condition set out in full below, a condition
incorporated by reference below, or an assurance or certification related to conduct during the award period -- may
result in OJP taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the award. Among other things, the OJP may
withhold award funds, disallow costs, or suspend or terminate the award. DOJ, including OJP, also may take other
legal action as appropriate.
Any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award (or concealment
or omission of a material fact) may be the subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621,
and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273), and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false
claims or otherwise (including under 31 U.S.C. 3729-3730 and 3801-3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms, that provision
shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be held,
instead, that the provision is utterly invalid or-unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severable from this
award.

Condition 29
Restrictions on "lobbying"
In general, as a matter of federal law, federal funds awarded by OJP may not be used by the recipient, or any
subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, either directly or indirectly, to support or oppose the enactment, repeal,
modification, or adoption of any law, regulation, or policy, at any level of government. See 18 U.S.C. 1913. (There may
be exceptions if an applicable federal statute specifically authorizes certain activities that otherwise would be barred by
law.)

subrecipient at any tier, to pay any person to influence (or attempt to influence) a federal agency, a Member of
Congress, or Congress (or an official or employee of any of them)with respect to the awarding of a federal grant or
cooperative agreement, subgrant, contract, subcontract, or loan, or with respect to actions such as renewing,
extending, or modifying any such award. See 31 U.S.C. 1352. Certain exceptions to this law apply, including an
exception that applies to Indian tribes and tribal organizations.

fall within the scope of these prohibitions, the recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not proceed without the
express prior written approval of OJP.

Attachment B
Jurisdiction: City of Kent
Project Name: Kent Police Department Civil Disturbance Unit
Project Cost: $44,439
Description of the Issue:
The Kent Civil Disturbance Unit (CDU) is trained to effectively deal with large crowds and minimize
criminal behavior during civil unrest. The unit is a part-time team made up of officers from different
divisions of the police department and includes all of the Special Operations Unit or Kent's bicycle unit.
Kent CDU is part of the regional Valley Civil Disturbance Unit (VCDU) which consists of teams from the
cities of Renton, Tukwila, Federal Way,Auburn, as well as the Port of Seattle police department. With this
partnership,VCDU brings over 90 officers together when needed for any event when there is a threat of
civil unrest in the King County area of Washington state. VCDU is comprised of a command element, line
officers, bike officers, and a CUT team (specially equipped and trained to safely cut or dismantle protestor
devices and chains). VCDU also partners with other police agencies in the region. During 2023, CDU
responded to SeaTac Airport for a protest blocking the roadway and President Biden's
landing/departure, and staged in support of events within the City of Kent. In all situations, the team was
successful in maintaining order and keeping the public safe.
One of the important elements of CDU is the need of updated equipment. With these 2024 JAG funds, Kent
PD will purchase 13 gas masks and 13 protective helmets for use by Kent CDU assigned officers.Without
these funds, officers will be using out of date gas masks and older helmets. One of the issues with out of
date gas masks comes into play with law enforcement accreditation requirements. The Kent Police
Department is a state recognized accredited agency through the Washington Association of Sheriffs and
Police Chiefs (WASPC). One of the standards set forth through the accreditation process is the
requirement that gas masks used by officers must be current, not expired and tested annually. These JAG
funds will allow the purchase of new masks to be compliant with the accreditation standard. The helmets
while not military looking in nature, are necessary to enhance the safety and protection of the CDU
officers who are often dealing with violent and combatant members of the public. One of the most
common injuries suffered by CDU officers are head injuries.
Project Design and Implementation:
The Kent Police Department engages with our community through various events to include a
community based "use of force task force" where department leadership and community members meet
once a quarter to discuss use of force issues, concerns, recent incidents, and upcoming events and
information. One priority of this group is ongoing use of force training of our officers as well as
transparency and open communication.
Strategic planning also occurs within our police department. The Chief, Deputy Chief, and three Assistant
Chiefs, solicit input and suggestions from their Command Staff that also solicits input from line staff on
supply and equipment needs for programs and projects. The Chief and Assistant Chiefs then prioritize
this list and identify what to focus on for the annual JAG funding allocation. While VCDU is a valuable
resource for King County area police departments to include Kent, funding for supplies, gear, and
equipment for VCDU officers are covered by their home police department. If a department does not have
the funding to update VCDU uniforms and equipment,the officers use what they have available.
Therefore, JAG funds assist in the ability to outfit our officers with the safest and most up to date
equipment.
