The Memphis Police Foundation was formed in May 2008, as a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, to provide private sector support to our police department and contribute to the development of an innovative, technologically advanced police force optimally engaged with the community it serves.  Board members from diverse backgrounds have come together with great enthusiasm to leverage their expertise in the areas of finance, research, marketing, public relations, fundraising and development to build philanthropic support for our police department, providing financial assistance during times of tight budget constraints. 

In August of 2011, the foundation board voted to rename the foundation Memphis/Shelby County Law Enforcement Foundation, expanding their support for all law enforcement in the Memphis/Shelby County area, including the Memphis Police Department, Shelby County Sheriff’s Department, Millington Police Department, Bartlett Police Department, Germantown Police Department and Collierville Police Department.  

The board members wish to thank everyone who has supported the foundation and encourage continued contributions in support of law enforcement.  You may do so by mailing your donation to the: Memphis/Shelby County Law Enforcement Foundation, 530 Oak Court Dr, Suite 165, Memphis, TN  38117 or by going to the Contribute page to make a donation through PayPal.
