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 $398,766 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (CFDA 16.710 - Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants) will enable the Lake Co School District in Tiptonville, Tennessee to implement evidence-based programs to improve school security and promote a positive learning environment. The funding will be used to enhance security measures and technology at schools within the district, as well as develop and deliver training programs focused on community policing strategies, de-escalation techniques, and officer wellness. This aligns with the COPS Office's mission to build collaborative partnerships between law enforcement and communities to proactively address public safety issues.

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.
