The seeming anonymity of the Internet has opened the door to new threats. 80% of middle school youth would not feel comfortable going to their parents if they got “in trouble” online.

Our SafetyNet™ program is a partnership with the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force providing tools to help parents and children make smart cyber choices. And it’s receiving outstanding reviews.

SDPF receives $400,000 grant from Gary and Mary West Foundation

West Foundation The Gary and Mary West Foundation (GMWF) selected the San Diego Police Foundation as recipient of a $400,000 grant to expand and enhance the work of police and fire canine units throughout San Diego county.

Filip and Phil, Canine Unit
“Gary and Mary West are dog lovers. But most importantly they believe in the tremendous community benefits made possible by supporting public safety,” said Program Officer Erin Spiewak. “The grant provides for training, equipment and the replacement of retiring dogs who have served their communities well.”

But it’s not meant to replace growing community support. In fact, the GMWF hopes its contribution will broaden awareness and support.

Included in the grant award was a $60,000 fundraising challenge which you helped us meet on Oct. 1. Thank you! If you have yet to make your contribution, now is a good time. Click Here

While officers respond to emergencies and crises,

the San Diego Police Foundation helps cover their back trying to get them what they need to do their jobs better. Your police department may not come to mind when you think about charitable giving, but there are few organizations that touch the lives of so many in San Diego.
