Weber, UT community trust and legitimacy project

The Weber County Community Trust and Legitimacy Project received a $125,000 project grant award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Community Oriented Policing Program. The grant falls under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program, which provides funding to law enforcement agencies to implement community policing strategies and develop partnerships between law enforcement and the communities they serve to collaboratively address public safety issues.

Through this award, Weber County Assessor's Office will work with community members, non-profits, businesses, and other local agencies to implement organizational strategies that support proactive problem solving and building community trust in police. Key activities will include developing collaborative partnerships to identify and develop effective solutions to local public safety problems, as well as aligning the County Assessor's management, personnel, and information systems to better support community policing efforts.
