FY21 school violence prevention program (svpp)

The Moore County Board of Education received a three-year, $492,879 Project Grant award from the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services program to implement the School Violence Prevention Program. The grant will support community policing and public safety partnership strategies between October 2021 and September 2024 under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program. Through collaborative problem-solving and organizational changes, the School Violence Prevention Program aims to develop community trust and prevent violence in schools. Key activities will include implementing community partnerships, aligning management structures to support proactive policing, and employing a problem-oriented policing process of identifying and analyzing issues to develop effective responses. The grant funds will allow the Moore County Board of Education to deliver services focused on school safety and crime prevention through well-established community policing practices.
