The crucial funding provided by the Anaheim Police Department Foundation directly enhances the department’s ability to proactively impact crime, ensure they are a high performing organization and to enhance their community relationships. The Anaheim Police Department Foundation accomplishes this by investing in state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge technology; advanced professional development and training programs; and employee safety and wellness programs, for the women and men of the Anaheim Police Department. Each of these areas are frequently impacted by diminishing government resources and the goal of the Anaheim Police Department Foundation is to bring additional support to the needs of the department.
