The Town of North Smithfield was awarded a $121,873 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Justice's Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants (CFDA 16.710) program. The grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, aims to enhance the town's community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts through the COPS Hiring Program. The anticipated outcomes include increased community engagement, implementation of projects to analyze and assess problems, changes to personnel and agency management in support of community policing, and greater capacity for the town's law enforcement agency to engage in community policing activities. This federal grant award complements the town's previous sub-awards from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation for various highway safety initiatives, demonstrating North Smithfield's comprehensive approach to securing and managing federal grant funding to support public safety and community resilience.
