BJA FY 22 Preventing School Violence: BJA's STOP School Violence Program

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. This program is based on the Student, Teachers, and Officers Preventing School Violence Act of 2018 (or STOP School Violence Act). The program seeks to increase school safety by implementing: training that will improve school climate using school-based behavioral threat assessments and/or intervention teams to identify school violence risks among students; technological solutions such as anonymous reporting technology that can be implemented as a mobile phone-based app, a hotline, or a website in the applicant's geographic area to enable students, teachers, staff, and community members to anonymously identify threats of school violence; or other school safety strategies that assist in preventing violence. NOTE: Under the STOP School Violence Act, BJA funds cannot be used for the purchase of target hardening equipment to secure schools such as cameras, security systems, fencing, locks, etc. In addition, these funds cannot be used to hire armed security officers or school resource officers. Applicants interested in funding for target hardening equipment should see the COPS School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP). BJA, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) are all releasing solicitations in FY 2022 for funding supported by the STOP School Violence Act. Applicants should not submit duplicate proposals that include a similar project design and budget in response to these DOJ solicitations.
