The Foundation has had a meaningful impact on the safety of Atlantic City Police officers and the community through the purchase of equipment such as PPE, rifle resistant bulletproof vests, vest mounted tourniquets, self-aid kits, EpiPen's, bicycles, bike equipment, gym equipment, surveillance monitors and equipment, improved the Police Press Room, and K-9s.
