Mission Statement
The mission of the Seattle Police Foundation is to raise awareness and support for the Seattle Police Department.
About This Cause
SPF recognizes that the Seattle Police Department, with more than 80% of its annual budget going to support personnel costs, has very little flexibility to seed new programs and encourage innovation. The role of the Foundation is not to displace funding for basic law enforcement, nor to reduce in any way the responsibility of the City of Seattle to commit the necessary funding for law enforcement services for its citizens. However, as modern law enforcement tasks continue to become more complex, the Seattle Police Department, similar to police departments across the country, has increasing needs to stay current in training, technology and equipment, and communication and partnership efforts with the community. The Foundation utilizes the generous contributions of our fellow citizens and funding partners to enhance the Seattle Police Department’s efforts in three vital areas: *Community Partnerships - Programs that enhance relationships between the community and the Seattle Police Department *Employee Development - Advanced training and employee recognition programs *Police Service Enhancements - Cutting-edge and specialized equipment and technology By supporting innovative projects in these funding areas, our public-private partnership allows the Seattle Police Department to launch innovative and experimental projects that further their ability to serve Seattle’s public safety needs.
