SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Overview

The Violent Crime Control and Law

Enforcement Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–

322) authorizes the Department of

Justice to make grants to increase

deployment of law enforcement officers

devoted to community policing on the

streets and rural routes in this nation.

The COPS in Schools program is

specifically designed to combat school

violence.

Many communities are discovering

that trained, sworn Law enforcement

officers assigned to schools make a

difference. The presence of these

officers provides schools with on-site

security and a direct link to local law

enforcement agencies.

Community policing officers typically

perform a variety of functions within

the school including teaching crime

prevention and substance-abuse classes,

monitoring troubled students, and

building respect for law enforcement

among students. School Resource

Officers combine the functions of law

enforcement and education.

The COPS in Schools initiative

provides an incentive for law

enforcement agencies to build working

relationships with schools to use

community policing efforts to combat

school violence.
