About Our Organization
Our objective is to strengthen relations between our Police officers and citizens creating a unified effort to foster a safe, comfortable, and welcoming place to live and visit.
Who We Are
We aim to generate charitable support, and community awareness, to help our local Police Departments and communities thrive. We are starting in Elkhart and Bristol, with the goal to scale to all Elkhart County Police Departments.
FOLP’s mission is the “software” that helps establish the cornerstone of great communities – a place where everyone feels safe.
How It Works
Friends of Local Police Fund is being hosted by the Elkhart County Community Foundation and executed through the efforts of a non-bias team.
Our team of Coordinators and Fund Allocation Committee members work together to raise funds and determine how best they may be allocated to local police departments
What We Do
Our goal is to help make our community SAFE by fostering positive and mutually beneficial relationships between members of the police force and our neighbors
Coordinate Fundraising
Raise money through community donations that will be held at the Elkhart County Community Foundation (FOLP Fund). These funds will be used to provide support to our local police officers.
Distribute Funds
Funding will be approved by volunteers who sit on FOLP’s “Funds Allocation Committee”. This assures funds are spent in a manner that best aligns with our mission.
Foster Community
Coordinate creative ideas for the events and activities to accomplish the Fund’s purpose, and work to ensure that community and Police relations continue to grow.
Why Get Involved
Police work WITH the people, and the people must work WITH the Police. That makes our community SAFE, and SAFETY is the cornerstone of all great communities!
