San Diego Police Foundation

What We Do

The San Diego Police Foundation’s work is the result of caring citizens like you. We help raise awareness of important unbudgeted or “discretionary” needs that will improve crime-prevention and law-enforcement efficiency. Then we put tax-deductible contributions to measurable work in local communities.

In households where domestic violence tears at the fabric of families, the Foundation has helped many relationships escape the cycle of violence by funding a program that helps increase arrests and successful prosecutions.

In units like S.W.A.T., grants help overcome the disadvantage of criminals often being better equipped than police.

The Foundation is an independent 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization providing support for efforts that enhance police/community relations, crime prevention and public safety through grant funding for specialized equipment, training, and cooperative community programs. It is governed by volunteer directors.

 

. . . and Don't Do

The Foundation does not fund personnel, regular police vehicles, lethal weapons, officers' uniforms or standard police equipment. 

 

You make all the difference. Your gifts are tax-deductible.
