The purpose of the cops office school violence prevention program (svpp) is to improve security at schools and on school grounds through school safety programs and technology

The Hazel Park School District was awarded a $500,000 project grant from the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services Program to implement the School Violence Prevention Program. Funded under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710), this three-year award will support evidence-based programs and school safety technologies to improve security and foster a positive learning environment. The COPS Office grant will enable the school jurisdiction to partner with local law enforcement and deploy collaborative problem-solving strategies that address the underlying factors contributing to violence or disorder in schools. This award is consistent with the COPS Office's mission to advance public safety through community policing initiatives and help strengthen partnerships between education and criminal justice agencies.

Funding under this award program will be used by the school jurisdiction to implement evidence-based programs to improve school security and promote a positive learning environment for all students.
