How can I contribute to the Los Angeles Police Department?

There are three primary ways to donate directly to the Los Angeles Police Department and its members. We do not solicit for funds over the phone. If you are contacted by an organization that claims to be representing the LAPD, please call the Police Commission Investigations Division 213-485-2102.

The Los Angeles Police Foundation: The Los Angeles Police Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit organization that provides critical resources and vital support to the Los Angeles Police Department. From essential equipment and state-of-the-art technology to specialized training and innovative programs that would otherwise be unfunded, the support they provide directly improves public safety, impacts officer readiness, and enhances our quality of life.  As the largest source of private funding for the LAPD, they are passionately dedicated to ensuring that Los Angeles remains America’s safest major city.

Since its founding in 1998, the Los Angeles Police Foundation has provided more than $38 million in resources to help the police serve at their highest level in order to keep our communities and families safe.

We can’t afford to let up in the fight against crime. Help us support the LAPD by giving a one-time donation by clicking here.

The Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation assists LAPD members when tragedy strikes, specifically injury and death. Since 1972, the Foundation has stepped in with financial support to ease the pain of catastrophic illness, injuries, and death. The Foundation also provides funding for a college degree to dependents of fallen LAPD members.

The William H. Parker Los Angeles Police Foundation was founded in October 1966, as a memorial to Police Chief William H. Parker. The Parker Foundation’s purpose is to advance professionalism within the Los Angeles Police Department by funding specialized law enforcement training and by purchasing the latest technological equipment for law enforcement purposes.

The foundation is comprised of leaders from the business community and training professionals from the LAPD, and is funded through tax-deductible contributions from the Los Angeles community. LAPD officers rely on the resources of the foundation because most specialized training is not available through City-budgeted programs.
