Together for a Safer Atlantic City

Supporting Public Safety in Atlantic City

The Atlantic City Police Foundation was established on January 30, 2014 by current and former police officers and business and civic leaders as an independent, non-profit organization to improve public safety in Atlantic City and to sustain the Atlantic City Police Department's initiatives by funding  worthwhile police and police related programs,  training and equipment that would otherwise not be feasible under the City's budget.  
 
The role of the Foundation is not to displace City or State funding for basic law enforcement or to reduce the responsibility of the City of Atlantic City or the State of New Jersey to commit the necessary funding for law enforcement initiatives and activities.
 
As modern law enforcement tasks continue to become more complex and the City and State continue to struggle with their budgets, the Atlantic City Police Department, similar to police departments across the country, has an increasing needs to remain current in training, technology and equipment, and communication and partnership efforts with the community/visitors ito improve Atlantic City's image as being “clean and safe”.  
 
The Atlantic City Police Foundation  supports programs designed to allow the ACPD to remain pioneers and innovators in the rapidly evolving areas of technology, strategies and training by providing resources that are not readily available through other means.
 
The Police Foundation  works closely with ACPD leadership to develop a strategic program agenda. The Foundation engages in efforts to leverage private resources to fund high priority law enforcement needs that are beyond the scope of the City budget.  The Police Foundation has enjoyed the support of the City's residents, its business community, current and retired law enforcement and public safety organizations in Atlantic City and regionally, and the faith based community since its inception.

We know that by working together and with your support, we can make the Atlantic City Police Foundation of a safe Atlantic City for all,  a reality.
