Police Service Enhancements
The Seattle Police Foundation supports the latest in policing technologies. By investing in the latest crime fighting and lifesaving tech, SPF is able to help keep our front line officers and the public safe from harm. In the last year we have helped fund a variety of these initiatives including cutting edge bicycle helmets to insure officer safety and advanced bike training to keep both officers and the public safe during protests. The Foundation helped purchase personal tourniquets and body armor carriers, all to help those who sacrifice for us, stay safe on the streets.

As first responders, they know they may have to administer initial first aide to injured victims, | Care Under Fire Trauma KitsBeing shot is a very real possibility for every patrol officer, and even simple calls can turn deadly with little warning. Throughout the country, police officers learn basic first aid in the police academy, |

These funds supported both officer and public safety. | Mounted PatrolFor more than a hundred years the Seattle has had a Mounted Patrol Unit.

The Narcotics Detector Dog teams conduct hundreds of searches every year and help remove dangerous drugs from our community. | Forensic Video Acquisition Field KitThe Forensic Video Acquisition Field Kit is a portable computer workstation with video recovery tools and software used to assist forensic experts in obtaining footage from security/surveillance systems. |
