The City of Fayetteville Police Department was awarded a $250,000 Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants project grant from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Community Oriented Policing Program. The grant will support the implementation of community policing strategies in Fayetteville, Arkansas from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. As defined by the CFDA 16.710 program, grant funds will be used to develop collaborative partnerships between the Fayetteville Police Department and community members to jointly develop and evaluate responses to public safety issues through organizational transformation, problem solving techniques, and relationship building. This includes aligning management and personnel structures, engaging stakeholders, and applying data-driven approaches to address conditions that enable crime, such as through the crime triangle framework. The City of Fayetteville is the direct recipient and will oversee usage of the grant by its police department to deliver the intended community policing services.
