The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) awarded a $616,691 Project Grant under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710) to the Chickaloon Native Village, doing business as Chickaloon Village Traditional Council (CVTC), a federally recognized Ahtna Dene tribe located in Sutton-Alpine, Alaska. The purpose of this grant is to advance the practice of community policing in tribal jurisdictions through the hire or rehire of additional career sworn law enforcement officers, tribal/village police officers, and village public safety officers. The funding will enable CVTC to increase its community policing capacity to prevent and disrupt crime and violence within its tribal jurisdiction. This award, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2029, demonstrates the COPS Office's commitment to supporting law enforcement agencies in implementing community policing strategies that enhance public safety and build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
