The Community-Police Partnership Awards, sponsored by the MetLife Foundation and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), identify innovative partnerships between community groups and police to promote neighborhood safety and revitalization. Six Neighborhood Revitalization Awards, ranging from $10,000-$25,000, will recognize exemplary collaboration between community groups and police that yield crime reduction as well as economic development outcomes.

Five Special Strategy Awards of $15,000 each recognize exemplary collaboration between community groups and police that yield significant public safety outcomes in seven specific categories. Public agencies (including police departments and public schools) must apply in conjunction with at least one nonprofit organization. The RFP and preliminary application form are available on the website listed above.
