Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) received a $60,000 grant from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) to be used for law enforcement training.
“Knowledge is a powerful tool for keeping communities safe and ensuring that criminal offenders face justice,” said Gov. Kay Ivey in a press release. “I commend these universities for sharing expertise and resources with law enforcement from all parts of Alabama.”
AUM will use the funding to invite law enforcement and state agencies to a program focused on crime prevention.
The school was one of two to be awarded funds, the other being Jacksonville State University.
“ADECA joins Gov. Ivey in support of these programs that help law enforcement officers develop skills they can use to better serve their communities,” ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell said.
