The City of Oxford Police Department and the East Metro Area Crime Center (EMACC) have been awarded the Norfolk Southern Safety-First grant in the amount of $5,000.
The Safety-First Grant Program is designed to promote overall community safety across Norfolk Southern’s 22-state network. This program is intended to support organizations that directly provide safety services or operate programs that promote safe behavior.
Norfolk Southern values its relationship with first responders and established the Safety-First program, in part, to recognize and support such groups.
The grant funding will be used to enhance the East Metro Area Crime Center's ability to reduce crime and address public safety needs.
