On May 25, 2022, Presidential Executive Order (EO) 14074 “Advancing Effective, Accountable Policing and Criminal Justice Practices to Enhance Public Trust and Public Safety” was signed.

In accordance with EO 14074 (Section 12), State, Tribal, local, and Territorial Law Enforcement agencies (LEAs) must:

  • Notify their Civilian Governing Body (CGB) (i.e., City Council, County Government or other local governing body) of its intent to request property from Federal sources (to include Federal funds or grants).

  • Notify the Local Community of its request for property transfers, purchases from Federal funds, agencies or subcontractors (including existing transfer contracts or grants).

The High Springs Police Department currently does not have any intended requests from the Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO), or other Federal sources.
