FY21 school violence prevention program (svpp)

The Colorado City Unified School District No.14 received a $150,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Community Oriented Policing Program under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program. The three-year award running from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024 will support the district's School Violence Prevention Program. This program aligns with the federal program's focus on developing collaborative partnerships between law enforcement and community members to implement community policing strategies and proactively address public safety issues through problem analysis and response. The district will work with local law enforcement and community partners to engage in problem-solving processes aimed at developing effective solutions to reduce crime, social disorder, and fear of crime within the school environment.
