The Spring Grove Area School District received a $254,351 Project Grant award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Community Oriented Policing Program on October 1, 2021 to implement 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 community policing strategies through collaborative partnerships with community members, organizations, and businesses. Specifically, the Spring Grove Area School District will work with its local law enforcement agency and community partners to employ problem-solving techniques to proactively address public safety issues in schools, such as crime and social disorder, in order to build community trust through the systematic development of solutions.
