FY21 cops hiring program (CHP)

The City of Jackson, Mississippi was awarded a $504,310 Project Grant from the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program to support the implementation of community policing strategies from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026. The COPS Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program aims to enhance public safety by assisting law enforcement agencies in developing partnerships with communities and adopting organizational strategies that support proactive problem solving. Through this funding, the City of Jackson Police Department will work collaboratively with community members, local organizations, and other government agencies to develop solutions to public safety issues using the SARA problem-solving model of scanning for problems, analyzing relevant data, developing evidence-based responses, and assessing the results of those responses over the five-year grant period.
