The funding will enable the school district to enhance security measures and technology on school grounds, as well as develop and deliver training and programs focused on violence prevention, mental health services, and community engagement. This grant award is part of the COPS Office's broader efforts to support law enforcement agencies and community stakeholders in developing and implementing collaborative strategies to address public safety issues and build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
