The '''School Violence Prevention Program''' (SVPP), established in 2018 under the Students, Teachers, and Officers Preventing School Violence Act (STOP School Violence Act) of 2018, is administered by the Department of Justice’s Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office to provide grants to improve safety at K-12 schools, allocating over $500 million since inception to support approximately 200 projects annually by 2025. Initially funded with $75 million, it has grown to distribute $50 million in FY 2024 across 45 awards, funding initiatives like anonymous reporting systems, threat assessment training, and metal detectors in schools like those in rural Alabama and urban Chicago.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://cops.usdoj.gov/schoolviolenceprevention |title=School Violence Prevention Program |publisher=Community Oriented Policing Services}}</ref> Despite its impact, challenges like funding delays and uneven implementation persist (web ID: 7), but it remains a key resource under DOJ’s school safety efforts.
