Sex Exposure Online
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.
The San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and San Diego Police Foundation are providing tools to help parents and children make safe cyber choices.
Trade places with a cop!
Ever see the flashing lights of a police car in your rearview mirror? It might just amount to a
travel delay and a small dent in your wallet. But for an officer, even a seemingly routine vehicle
stop is potentially life–threatening.
Get an insider perspective at our unique, interactive program with San Diego Police officers!
It's an excellent eye-opening experience.

Police. More than 350 runners enjoyed San Diego’s harbor and embarcadero views on a blustery Sunday morning. Local law
enforcement officers and family members were in top form winning several age group categories. Click here for race

“Paws for Thanks” Luncheon
Police Chief William Lansdowne helped us honor the SDPD Canine Unit, its Officer of the Year, and many donors who support public safety. It was a unique opportunity to meet San Diego Police Department’s newest and retiring police service dogs. Photo Gallery.

Breakfast
with K-9
Did you miss it?
“Arras” demonstrate a suspect apprehension.
Insid SDPD guests saw the SDPD’s Canine Unit in action – and we mean ACTION – at our annual Breakfast with K-9 program on Nov. 20. Obedience training, personal stories and breathtaking demonstrations highlighted the morning.
The SDPD has the largest street police canine unit in the country and is renowned for outstanding training and results. Each year, 5-10 dogs reach their retirement age. It’s time to trade in years of work for a relaxing home life with their handler/officer “mom” or “dad.”
Through generous donations from people like you, the Foundation purchases retiree replacements. You can help!
SDPF receives $400,000 grant from Gary and Mary 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.
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.
