The Columbia Police Foundation's mission is to support the men and women and the families of the Columbia, SC Police Department.
GOALS:
By growing the lasting partnership with the Columbia Police Department and the community, the Foundation will identify programs designed to engage citizens to assist themselves and the police department in maintaining a safe community.
Provide ongoing support for the Columbia Police Department programs including K-9, Crimestoppers, Fan the Heat, and other special programs that may have budgetary restraints.
Through fund raising events and charitable donations, provide funding for crime prevention materials, other police department sponsored events, and support to the officers and families of the department.
The mission of the Columbia Police Foundation is to strengthen the police department services, by providing needed equipment and resources that are not budgeted through the department, and bridge the gap between the citizens and the men and woman who serve and protect the community.
Set up as an independent non-profit 501 c3 organization, the CPDF gathers financial and in-kind resources that support activities that reduce crime and increase pubic safety.
The Foundation Board of Directors is governed by community and business leaders, who serve in a voluntary capacity, working directly with the Columbia Police Department and community groups.
