Funding under this program may be requested for such things as: the placement and use of metal detectors, locks, lighting, and other deterrent measures; security assessments; security training of personnel and students; coordination with local law enforcement; and any other measure that may provide a significant improvement in security. Grantees are required to contribute a local cash match of 50 percent toward the total cost of the approved project during the two year grant award period. All local, state, and tribal law enforcement agencies that have primary law enforcement authority within a partner primary or secondary school are eligible to apply.
