Anticipated project outcomes include the following:

Increased ability of policing agencies, schools, and community groups to work together in developing innovative, systematic, long-term approaches to increasing and maintaining a nonviolent school environment and preventing different kinds of crime and disorder in and around their schools.

Measurable impacts on crime and disorder problems; an improved quality of life for those affected (students, teachers, school personnel, parents); and decreased fear of crime and violence among students, school employees and community members.

Establishing and maintaining inter-agency information sharing around the sensitive challenge of right-to-privacy. Initially linking both departments’ computer databases and making relevant information to school site personnel.

An increased body of knowledge for communities, criminal justice researchers, and practitioners on creative approaches being employed by different schools and community-based entities to address school-related crime problems.
