The U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) awarded a $600,000 Cooperative Agreement to the State of Oklahoma East Central University (ECU) to implement the Campus Law Enforcement Technical Assistance Project. This 3-year, $600,000 project, which began on October 1, 2023, will provide direct technical assistance, develop and revise resources, and deliver trainings and webinars to help institutions of higher education improve their responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The project supports OVW's Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA 16.526), which aims to strengthen the capacity of criminal justice professionals, victim service providers, and community organizations to effectively address violence against women. Through this award, ECU will work with campus law enforcement departments to enhance trauma-informed responses and investigations, increase prevention measures, and assist institutions in overcoming identified barriers and challenges.
