The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under the Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753), awarded a $963,000 Project Grant to Morris College to implement a 16-hour diversity, equity, and inclusion training program for law enforcement agencies in South Carolina. The program aims to build trust between communities and law enforcement by providing quarterly cultural competency training focused on de-escalation tactics, positive community relations, and policy/procedure improvements. Key expected outcomes include reduced use of force incidents, enhanced police-community relations, and assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of the training program.
