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 Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program awarded $500,000 to Coconino County Accommodation School District on October 1, 2025, under the School Violence Prevention Program (CFDA 16.071) to implement evidence-based school safety programs and improve security at schools and on school grounds.

The award funds activities including coordination with local law enforcement, training for officers to prevent student violence, placement of physical security measures such as metal detectors and lighting, acquisition and installation of emergency notification technology, and other security improvements approved by the COPS Office Director. Performance occurs in Flagstaff, Arizona. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2028. The recipient must submit semiannual programmatic performance reports and quarterly SF-425 federal financial reports, and the COPS Office will conduct ongoing monitoring including site visits and compliance reviews to verify that purchased items and services align with the approved budget and that funding supplements rather than supplants existing resources.

Funding under this award program will be used by the school jurisdiction to implement evidence-based programs to improve school security.
