About the Denver Police Officers Foundation

The Denver Police Officers Foundation is a nonprofit organization that began in 1998 to provide support for families of Denver police officers injured or killed in the line of duty. By 2003, the foundation had begun to organize and extend its reach into other areas of public safety. To do this, the foundation divided into the Denver Police Foundation, whose mission sought to enhance and promote public safety, and the Denver Police Officers Foundation, which continued to embrace the original mission of providing support for officers and their families.
