BJA’s Student, Teachers, and Officers Preventing (STOP) School Violence Program

The STOP School Violence Act of 2018 seeks to improve school security by providing students and teachers with the tools they need to recognize, respond quickly to, and prevent acts of violence. Both the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) offer grants to improve security within our nation’s schools and on school grounds through evidence-based programs.
