(Indianapolis, Ind.) – The Indiana Department of Homeland Security is accepting applications for the Secured School Safety Grant.

Schools awarded a grant may use the funding to employ a school resource officer, conduct a threat assessment, purchase equipment to restrict access to the school or expedite the notification of first responders, support firearms training, and more.
