From Our Chief of Police
The Police Foundation is an incredibly valuable asset to the Kansas City Missouri Police department and to all of Kansas City. With their support, we’re able to train and equip our officers in a way that allows them to more efficiently and effectively carry out their duties. Over the last several years, the Police Foundation has provided millions of dollars in equipment, technology, and training to our department, which is well beyond the level of support of other funding. We have been able to use those things strategically to prevent and solve violent crimes. The Foundation’s work and contributions to our department make Kansas City a safer place for all of us, and we are grateful for their partnership.
