FY21 school violence prevention program (svpp)

The Pike Road Board of Education received a $268,035 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 problem-solving and organizational transformation. With this award, Pike Road Schools will work with community partners to address public safety issues and prevent school violence using the SARA problem-solving model of scanning for problems, analyzing relevant data, developing collaborative responses, and assessing the results of their strategies. This project aims to build partnerships and trust between law enforcement, schools, and the local community in Pike Road, Alabama through proactive approaches to community safety.
