About Our Foundation

Founded in 2022, The Palo Alto Police Foundation (PAPF) works to enhance the quality of life for the Palo Alto community and police department employees, promote public safety, and strengthen police community relations. We engage Palo Altans, tell stories of community collaboration, and invest in programs and initiatives that are not financed in the city's annual budget, all to deepen appreciation and relationships.
