Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) has received a $115,000 grant from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) for law enforcement personnel training. 

“Our law enforcement officers work tirelessly to protect our communities by solving crimes and putting offenders behind bars,” said Gov. Kay Ivey in an online statement. “This important training offered by two of our best universities will equip officers with the knowledge and techniques they need to increase their skills and benefit public safety.”

The funding that AUM received will be used for law enforcement and crime prevention training programs. Jacksonville State University also received $115,000 from ADECA. 

“ADECA joins Gov. Ivey in support of these programs that will provide both basic and advanced training to keep communities and residents safe,” ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell said.
