FY21 cops hiring program (CHP)

The City of York, Pennsylvania received a $334,200 Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Community Oriented Policing Program on October 1, 2021 to be completed by September 30, 2026. This Project Grant funding will support the City of York's efforts to enhance public safety and build community trust through collaborative problem solving and organizational strategies that promote community policing principles between the York Police Department and the residents and community partners it serves. Key activities to be undertaken include developing partnerships with other local agencies, community members, non-profits and businesses to identify and find effective solutions to public safety issues. The funding will also support aligning the police department's management, personnel, resources and technology to facilitate community partnerships and data-driven analysis of problems. Outcomes will be evaluated to assess reductions in crime and improvements in public perception of police services.
