FY24 Kim Turner Foundation Regional De-Escalation Training Center AwardDOJ COPS Office Award #15JCOPS-24-GK-04178-DETXFederal Award Amount: $750,481Project Period: October 1 2024 through September 30 2026PurposeThe Kim Turner Foundation Inc. received FY24 Safer Outcomes funding from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services COPS Office to implement 9-1-1 dispatcher and records clerk de-escalation training nationwide. The program is designed to help create an environment where 9-1-1 dispatchers can de-escalate situations and gather critical information prior to the arrival of officers and first responders. Utilizing the concepts of the Verbal Judo Institute KTF is developing a high-quality 8-hour course to be delivered both in-person and virtually with a minimum of 72 course offerings over a 24-month period.Accomplishments and StatusDuring calendar year 2025 KTF invested in foundational program development under this cooperative agreement including securing the Verbal Judo Institute curriculum licensing $80,000 and engaging contractor instructors for course preparation. The organization spent the year in the COPS Office curriculum approval process a required step before course delivery may begin.The approval timeline was significantly delayed by the 43-day federal government shutdown from October 1 through November 12 2025 the longest full government shutdown in U.S. history. During those 43 days COPS Office operations were suspended and grant program staff were furloughed halting all curriculum review activity. The residual backlog following the reopening of the government further extended the timeline for approvals.As of December 31 2025 no training courses had been delivered under this award. KTF continues to work toward COPS Office curriculum approval with the goal of commencing course delivery once authorization is received. The project period extends through September 30 2026.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
