Overview

Mission

The mission of reserve police officers is to staff and supplement the police departments daily operational needs by working as patrol officers, detectives, and in other specialty assignments, and to be a ready force of additional police officers that may be deployed in times of natural or man-made disasters.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, the phoenix police foundation remained committed to supporting the over 130 fully sworn phoenix police reserve officers by identifying and addressing their critical needs. These efforts focused on equipping reserve personnel with essential communications tools, individual officer gear, safety equipment, and operational vehicles necessary to fulfill their policing duties, including investigations, recruitment, and community engagement. During the march 6, 2024, board of directors meeting, the foundation launched its annual fundraising initiatives. Among these efforts, the day at the track, a fundraising event, successfully raised approximately 160,000 in donations.
