OUR MISSION
The Boston Police Foundation is a non-profit organization created to help the brave men and women of the Boston Police Department perform their jobs to the utmost of their abilities. Your donation strengthens vital technological and professional development programs for Boston Police Officers-programs that improve performance and offer support to those risking their safety to ensure ours.
The BPF does not contribute to Department salaries, pensions, or overtime. Its job is to close the gap when funding falls short. The Foundation invests in special equipment, advanced training, new technology, officer safety and wellness, and youth outreach programs not covered in the department’s annual budget. It exists to advance public safety for the City of Boston by funding programs for Boston’s Finest.
BOSTON’S CITIZENS HELPING BOSTON’S FINEST
The Boston Police Foundation was formed in 1993 to provide private financial support for critically needed resources to the Boston Police Department, the oldest police department in the country. Boston has been named the Safest Big City in America, and this accolade can be accredited to the health, wellness, and community initiatives that the Boston Police Department and the community implement to take care of every citizen.
Community Opportunities Program
The Community Opportunities Program (COP) aims to provide meaningful opportunities for Boston residents of all ages—young children and teens, right up to members of our senior community—to engage with Boston Police. These opportunities help build trust and foster healthy and safe communities. COP programming focuses on building partnerships with Boston Police officers as a vital part of fulfilling the Department’s mission of Community Policing.
BACK UP BOSTON’S FINEST
The Boston Police Foundation aims to keep Boston the Safest Big City in America through our initiatives to support officers and fostering positive relationships between the police department and community.
