Donate
Transparency is critical for trust, support, and loyalty. This means financial accountability, openness about mission and plans of the Foundation. Transparency also means that a donor’s rights are clearly informed.
Use of Donations
The foundation believes in bringing together community support for those areas of the Sheriff’s Office where private funding is critically important for success. An example of those areas to be supported include the acquisition of body worn cameras for the Sheriff’s Deputies, the creation and support of Community Engagement Advisory Boards to provide a closer working relationship between the community and the Sheriff’s Office.
