Syracuse PD Gets Grant For Cops In School
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Syracuse Police Department was one of three area law enforcement agencies to receive a grant to place an officer in local schools.
U.S. Rep. Tim Roemer announced Wednesday afternoon that Syracuse received a $125,000 grant through the Community Oriented Policing Services program at the U.S. Department of Justice. The grant will allow placement of one full-time officer.
Goshen and Mishawaka police departments each received a $250,000 grant for two full-time officers.
"Preventing school violence and protecting our students is a top priority for communities across north-central Indiana," Roemer said. "These uniformed officers will provide greater security and protection for our children. The COPS program helps local communities hire additional officers, promote community policing, promote safety and fight crime in the manner they think best."
Last year, $729,000 in federal grants placed officers in schools from Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department and Nappanee, North Liberty and Warsaw police departments. [[In-content Ad]]
