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 $281,250 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710) will be used by the Little Axe School District in Norman, Oklahoma to improve school security and promote a positive learning environment. The funding will support the implementation of evidence-based programs to enhance school safety and security, which may include technology acquisition, officer training, and collaborative partnerships between the school district and local law enforcement. This grant 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 trust 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.
