More information
The New York City Police Foundation, Inc. was established in 1971 by business and civic leaders as an independent, non-profit organization to promote excellence in the NYPD and improve public safety in New York City. The Police Foundation supports programs designed to help the NYPD keep pace with rapidly evolving technology, strategies and training. We provide resources that are not readily available through other means - to date $100 million has been invested in 400 innovative NYPD programs. The Police Foundation works closely with the Police Commisioner to develop a strategic program agenda. The Foundation encourages and supports NYPD programs in two main areas:
projects, research studies, and equipment to improve the effectiveness of police activities; and
education, training and skill development to strengthen the partnership between the police and the public. Public safety cannot rest on the shoulders of law enforcement agencies alone. As much as we all need the police, they need our support as well.
