FY21 school violence prevention program (svpp)

The Mingo County Schools were awarded a $499,989 Project Grant from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Community Oriented Policing Program on October 1, 2021 to support the School Violence Prevention Program through September 30, 2024.

This funding supports the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program, which provides assistance to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies to develop partnerships and implement community policing strategies that build community trust and collaboratively address public safety issues such as crime and social disorder. Specifically, the Mingo County Schools will use this grant to develop collaborative partnerships and implement organizational strategies and systematic problem-solving processes to prevent violence in schools and strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the community served.
