State Public Safety Grant Guide
Oregon Public Safety Grants
Funding pathways, grant contacts, compliance notes, available programs, and award examples for Oregon law enforcement, fire, EMS, homeland security, emergency management, school safety, investigations, training, and mission support.
This Oregon public-safety grant page is part of the MAXSUR Public Safety Grant Resource Center. It is designed to help agencies identify funding pathways and planning resources for law enforcement technology, drones, surveillance, communications, officer safety, forensic capabilities, traffic safety, school safety, emergency response, training, and broader public-safety initiatives.
Oregon agencies should use this page as a starting point for funding research, then verify all deadlines, eligibility requirements, allowable costs, and procurement rules with the official funding source, local procurement office, grant administrator, and legal counsel as appropriate.
Planning note: Oregon currently shows no statewide drone or surveillance procurement ban in this dataset; however, NDAA-compliance remains mandatory when purchasing drones or covered technologies with federal funds. Agencies should confirm current requirements before issuing solicitations, selecting technology, or spending grant funds.

MAXSUR Solution Pathways
Connect Oregon Funding to Field-Ready Capability
MAXSUR supports public-safety agencies with mission-focused technology, integration, training, and procurement pathways. These solution areas may align with selected grant programs when tied to eligible missions and approved costs.
Procurement Pathway
Use Grant Funding More Efficiently With Cooperative Procurement
Finding a grant is only part of the process. Once funding is identified or awarded, Oregon agencies still need a compliant and efficient path to purchase, deploy, and support the equipment or services tied to the project.
MAXSUR’s BuyBoard contract may help eligible agencies streamline procurement, access contract pricing, and move faster from funding approval to field-ready capability for selected public-safety projects.
BuyBoard eligibility, grant allowability, and procurement requirements may vary by agency, funding source, and jurisdiction. Agencies should confirm requirements with their procurement office, grant administrator, and legal counsel before purchase.
