Overview
Mission
The Atlanta Police Foundation is an independent non-profit organization that provides strategic planning, public safety infrastructure investment, innovative technology, career-long law enforcement training, and a variety of community programs designed to make Atlanta a safer city.
What it reported doing in 2024
"*secure neighborhoods*community policing is a core principle of the atlanta police department and to be most effective it should be led by officers who live within the communities they serve. Apf's secure neighborhoods program is aimed at providing pathways for atlanta police officers to achieve affordable in-city residency from the earliest point in their career. Through strategic partnerships, the program offers below market apartment living for police recruits, subsidized officer rental units, courtesy officer positions and for-purchase single family homes in crime challenged neighborhoods. All participants are required to actively engage within the community through a variety of means such as youth mentorship, extra security patrolling, community service engagement as well as neighborhood meeting attendance. These engagements are designed to encourage mutual support and understanding, improve department culture and reduce crime. In 2024 apf constructed and sold an additional 10 homes to well qualified police officers in an effort to reduce crime and build relatonships in strategic neighborhoods. The community safety housing program: the apartment rental program, continued in 2024 expanding to additional officers having the opportunity to reduce crime and build lasting relationships particularly with the apf @promise centers.

The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
