The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) awarded a $185,000 Project Grant under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710) to the City of Oxford, Alabama. The grant provides funding to develop and acquire effective equipment, technologies, and interoperable communications to assist the City's law enforcement agency in responding to and preventing crime. The goal is to increase the community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts of the Oxford Police Department. Funding will be used for projects that improve police effectiveness and the flow of information among law enforcement, local government service providers, and the communities they serve, as specified in the congressional appropriations. As a sub-recipient, the City of Oxford has also been awarded grants from state agencies for economic development infrastructure projects, vehicle purchases, and equipment to combat domestic violence extremism.
