FY21 school violence prevention program (svpp)

The Medway Public Schools were awarded a $374,945 Project Grant from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Community Oriented Policing Program on October 1, 2021 to complete the project by September 30, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program to fund the FY21 SCHOOL VIOLENCE PREVENTION PROGRAM. This three-year grant will support Medway Public Schools' efforts to implement evidence-based strategies and community policing approaches to address immediate public safety issues and build trust between law enforcement and the community through collaborative problem solving. Key deliverables will include developing partnerships with local law enforcement, community members, and other stakeholders to identify and prioritize safety problems in schools and neighborhoods, and then rigorously evaluate responsive solutions to bring about lasting reductions in crime and disorder.
