We support America's police foundations so they can do what they do, even better.
Police Foundation Partners (PFP) is a national network of police foundations (nonprofit organizations) and a program that offers  best practices, resources and support to local police foundations so they can grow and fulfill their highest potential.  Best of all, PFP provides a community of peers for those who run and operate police foundations so they can learn from each other. Our members provide peer-to-peer support and form a unique community for each other.

​PFP is an initiative of Engage Public Safety, a civic engagement nonprofit organization with a mission to engage the public in public safety. The team at Engage Public Safety believe that local police foundations have tremendous potential to serve as effective bridges between cops and communities and have significant impact in their cities. We are proud to convene resources to build a sense of community for America's police foundations and provide best practices and support to accelerate their impact in creating safer communities.

We invite all local police foundations to join the PFP Network.
