Section 1: Program Description I. Overview A. The Border Security Equipment and Technology (BSET) Grant Program, hereinafter referred to as BSET, is state-funded grant program administered by the Governor’s Division of Emergency Management (GDEM) for such border security expenditures as training, equipment, and technology acquisition by state and local law enforcement agencies. B. The BSET is a one-time grant opportunity. This package provides the formal grant guidance and application materials needed to apply for funding under the BSET Grant Program, including the BSET eligibility criteria, detailed application requirements, and application review information. C. GDEM is responsible for the management and administration of all funds provided through this award and is accountable for all the deadlines, requirements, and limitations of this award. GDEM is responsible for obligating BSET funds to eligible pass-through recipients, as well as for overseeing and monitoring the activity of these sub-recipients. II. Source of Funds State funds are made available for this program by Article IX, Section 19.69(c) of the 2008-2009 General Appropriations Act to provide for such border security expenditures as training, equipment, and technology acquisition. These are not federal dollars. III. Background The State of Texas has an urgent security challenge caused by the increased threat from organized crime, terrorism, and their allies that is exacerbated by the continued flow of illegal immigrants. These threats will continue to threaten the security of Texas and the United States for the foreseeable future. Organized criminal, drug trafficking, and illegal immigration activities originating and transiting from Mexico to the United States and Texas will continue until the air, land, and sea transit areas are secured. Criminal activities, including drugs and human smuggling, are extensive in the border regions and within the transportation corridors from the borders to major metropolitan areas. IV. Goal The Border Security Equipment and Technology (BSET) grant will facilitate the acquisition and deployment of law enforcement technology as a means to help law enforcement agencies secure the border and counter border centric crime. V. Project Objectives The BSET objectives are: To deter crime along the Texas-Mexico border and improve border security for the safety of the citizens of Texas and her guests. To capture metrics on criminal activity and the effectiveness of law enforcement equipment and/or technology. To enhance the use of the law enforcement equipment and/or technology by the capturing, codifying, and sharing of best practices and concepts of operations.
