Louisville Metro Police Foundation

Projects Funded

Implemented Leadership Development classes using Louisville area leaders to guide and mentor LMPD Commanding Officers.
Partnership with the Jefferson County Public School to create an awareness campaign of the 574-LMPD anonymous tip line for students to be called "Campus Watch."
LMPF funded the 2006, 2007 and 2008 LMPD Awards Banquet. The officer and civilian of the year each received a cash gift, plus airline tickets and accommodations anywhere in the U.S.
In response to an alarmingly high divorce rate among Officers, the LMPD Command Staff asked the Foundation for ideas to possibly help. In response, LMPF Board-member Pastor Bob Russell initiated a marriage enrichment program to address the issue in an open and comforting environment.
Community Partnerships: The LMPF teamed up with the Safety & Security store to purchase 72 "Clubs" to assist the LMPD Safe City program. Also, after a rash of bank robberies, National City Bank asked how they could help the LMPD. As a result, they purchased equipment for the S.W.A.T team.
Underwriter for the LMPD Explorer Academy in 2007 & 2008, statewide program that partners with the Boy Scouts of America to develop young men and women for careers in law enforcement.
Support for numerous LMPD D.A.R.E Officers to attend an annual training to teach school age children the importance of abstaining from drugs and alcohol.
Co-sponsored speaker, author, and "Life-Coach" Tim Enoch at Oxmoor Country Club. The two hour seminar entitled "Every Day Is Game Day" was attended by 45 LMPD Officers at no cost to them.
Too many more to list. In the end, our goal is to partner with the LMPD to support and enhance the law enforcement community.
