In concert with the Prescott Police Department, the Foundation supports a variety of public safety and crime prevention programs and encourages innovation by serving as an alternative to traditional funding sources.The Foundation also provides essential assistance for Police Department programs and enhances their ability to achieve their mission and keep our community safe.The Prescott Police Foundation is organized exclusively, as stated above for charitable and educational purposes in support of the community as follows: The K-9 Unit and K-9 Events - allows the PPF to foster relations with the community by holding events to make the community aware of how the sworn K-9s Benny and Cooper, as narcotics dogs, help to keep our community safe. The K-9s go into school classrooms to teach kids the dangers of drugs. The PPF has also purchased a new training building for the K-9s so they can further their training. Citizens on Patrol (COPs) - PPF has supplied the COPs with FIDO bags to be used for emergencies for found animals needing water and treatment for injuries. We also purchased them highly reflective winter jackets and repainted 2 COP vehicles. They also provide vacation drive by's for the Prescott community and assist the Police Department with accidents. The COP's are all volunteers and don't have a payroll.Annual Police Awards - PPF supplies funds for outstanding personnel in the Prescott Police Department.
