The Livingston County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) was awarded a $155,000 Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grant (CFDA 16.710) from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office). The grant funding will be used to improve the training experience, reduce use of force severity and incidents, and ensure safer outcomes for LCSO sworn personnel and the citizens they serve. Specifically, the LCSO will acquire an advanced virtual reality (VR) training system to enhance officer training in de-escalation techniques, situational awareness, and decision-making skills. The program aims to address critical public safety needs by strengthening community-oriented policing and reducing the use of force. Additionally, the LCSO will provide training access to other small police departments in the county that lack the ability to train officers in state-of-the-art de-escalation systems.
