The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710) to the Creighton School District #14 in Phoenix, Arizona. The purpose of this grant is to improve security at schools and on school grounds through evidence-based school safety programs and technology. The funding will be used by the school district to implement initiatives that enhance school security and promote a positive learning environment for all students. This aligns with the COPS Office's mission to assist state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies in advancing public safety through community policing strategies that build partnerships and address immediate conditions contributing to crime and disorder.

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.
