About

How We Approach Our Work

The Foundation's activities to support public safety fall into 4 categories:
  • Urgent grants and guidance to MPD
  • Shorter-term member programming for MPD
  • Longer-term programs focused on MPD priority areas such as youth violence prevention
  • City-wide public safety programs and policy initiatives.

How We Support the Metropolitan Police Department

The DC Police Foundation supports efforts and focus on vulnerable children and neighborhoods with pro-active preemptive programs working hand-in-hand with the community. Because modern policing requires more sophisticated training and equipment, the DC Police Foundation also assists with the acquisition of more effective technologies.

In recent years, the DC Police Foundation has funded: 
• Year-round mentoring and intervention programs and summer camps for at-risk city youth;
• The MPD Tactical Vilage training facility ;
• MPD Family Field Day and Law Enforcement Awards Ceremony, and
• Support for better technology to enhance the crime fighting effectiveness of the MPD.
