These grants will afford these counties the opportunity to hire sworn officers to perform a variety of functions within local New Hanover and Pender schools. I salute the local law enforcement officials who were involved in this application, and I look forward to working with them to ensure that our schools are safe places for our children to learn.
Funds pay for a designated portion of the salary and benefits of each new officer.
