Fall 2018-2019 School Resource Officer School Security Officer Incentive Grant Program

The General Assembly authorized an additional $ 1,300,000 to be deposited into the School Resource Officer Incentive Grants Fund to bolster school safety. In response, the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is offering a new cycle of state funded grants through the School Resource Officer Incentive Grant Program to establish new School Resource Officer (SRO) positions in local law enforcement agencies, and School Security Officer (SSO) positions in local school divisions.  A primary goal of this grant program is to establish, enhance, and continue the partnerships between local law enforcement agencies and school divisions.
