FY21 cops hiring program (CHP)

The County of Butler received a $125,000 project grant award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Community Oriented Policing Program on October 1, 2021 to support community policing efforts through September 30, 2026. The grant funding will support the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program, which aims to enhance public safety by assisting law enforcement agencies in building community trust and developing collaborative problem-solving approaches through community partnerships, organizational transformation, and systematic problem analysis. Specifically, the County of Butler is expected to leverage the funding to strengthen relationships between law enforcement and community members, align police operations with community-oriented strategies, and engage residents in proactively addressing local public safety issues through evidence-based solutions.
