New York became the greatest city in the world for one simple reason: it was safe.

Safety is the foundation of everything - our neighborhoods, our businesses, our schools and our future.

Today, many New Yorkers feel that foundation weakening and one thing is clear: the men and women of the NYPD cannot take our support for granted.

If City Hall will not prioritize them, New Yorkers must.

That is why the New York City Police Foundation matters.

Every dollar donated goes directly toward strengthening the NYPD’s ability to protect this city through:

• Innovative community policing programs

• Resources and technology that help officers do their jobs safely

• Initiatives that build trust between officers and the communities they serve

This is about standing behind the people who stand between order and chaos every single day.

New York has always been strongest when its people step up for one another.

If you believe this city is worth protecting - and that those who protect it deserve our support - please consider making a donation today to the New York City Police Foundation.

Because the safety of New York City is not someone else’s responsibility.

It’s ours.
