From radios and tactical vests to body-worn cameras and surveillance equipment, many law enforcement agencies rely on federal grant programs—particularly those administered by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office of Justice Programs (OJP)—to acquire critical gear. But with funding comes responsibility. Agencies must track, manage, and report on federally funded assets with precision—or risk audit findings, claw backs, or ineligibility for future grants.
A digital Quartermaster system eliminates the guesswork, paperwork, and human error that can derail compliance. By using modern quartermaster software, agencies can streamline asset tracking, ensure grant requirements are met, and maintain audit-ready records.
How a Digital Quartermaster System Supports DOJ Grant Compliance
Programs like the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) and the COPS Office grants require recipients to:
- Track grant-funded purchases separately from other equipment
- Maintain detailed inventory logs with serial numbers, purchase dates, and assignment records
- Be able to produce proof of use and current location during grant audits
- Retain equipment and records for defined durations—even after the grant period ends
- Submit regular reports confirming compliance and equipment status
Manual tracking systems simply aren’t built to meet these expectations.
Built-In Grant Tracking Makes Compliance Easy
With Omnigo's Quartermaster software, tracking federally funded assets is built in—not bolted on. A standard field for grant funding allows users to flag items during data entry, filter assets by funding source, and generate audit-ready reports with just a few clicks.
In a recent walkthrough, one agency used the system to:
- Tag and monitor all grant-funded equipment without relying on spreadsheets
- Generate detailed reports showing purchase dates, assignment history, and asset status
- Visualize upcoming inspections, expirations, or replacement milestones
- Provide a complete audit trail—fast, organized, and defensible

Why It Matters
Mismanaging grant-funded equipment isn't just a clerical issue—it can trigger serious consequences:
- Ineligibility for future federal funding
- Audit penalties or repayment demands
- Damage to agency reputation
- Operational setbacks if gear is disqualified or seized
A digital Quartermaster system gives your agency the tools to track every asset with confidence, demonstrate full compliance, and safeguard your ability to secure future funding.
