The COPS Office has been appropriated more than $20 billion to advance community policing, including grants awarded to more than 13,000 state, territorial, local and tribal law enforcement agencies to fund the hiring and redeployment of more than 136,000 officers. COPS Office information resources, covering a wide range of community policing topics such as school and campus safety, violent crime, and officer safety and wellness, can be downloaded via the COPS Office&#8217;s home page, https://cops.usdoj.gov.
