Opportunity Information: Apply for O COPS 2025 172379

The FY25 School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP), run by the U.S. Department of Justice's COPS Office, offers grants to help improve security at schools and on school grounds. It is open to states, local governments, Indian tribes, and their public agencies, including school districts, public charter schools, and law enforcement agencies. Private and independent schools are not eligible to apply directly.

The program will provide up to $73 million in total funding for around 200 awards, with a maximum of $500,000 per award. Each recipient must cover at least 25% of the project cost with matching funds unless a waiver is granted. Projects should take place over a 36-month period starting October 1, 2025. About $1 million is set aside for microgrants (maximum $100,000 each) targeting smaller, rural, tribal, or under-resourced school districts; these microgrants do not require matching funds.

Eligible activities must support a comprehensive approach to school safety and align with specific statutory areas, including:

- Working closely with local law enforcement - Training officers to prevent student violence - Installing security measures like metal detectors, locks, and lighting - Acquiring emergency notification technology - Implementing other proven measures to significantly improve school security

Applicants must show they consulted with a wide group of stakeholders — such as mental health professionals, teachers, students, and researchers — to design a plan that protects student rights and addresses the specific needs of each school. Also, applicants must comply with federal requirements related to immigration status information sharing.

More detailed information can be found in the FY25 SVPP Application Resource Guide.
