The Cleveland Police Foundation

The CPF is an alliance of business and civic leaders, law enforcement organizations and individuals committed to the idea that an educated, well-trained, and modernly equipped police department leads to a safer community for all. Our mission is to strengthen the relationship between the Cleveland Division of Police and the citizens it serves through community outreach programs, support for police charities and their missions, investment in training for police officers and citizens, and funding specialized equipment and technology in order to help our police officers better perform their duties.

History of Service

Since it’s founding as a frontier outpost of the Western Reserve, Cleveland has been a great place to live. As our city and northeast Ohio continued to grow and prosper, its citizens established a great sense of community, one in which to raise a family and make a good living…. a community we can all be proud to call home.

Our police officers are an integral part of that community, pro-tecting its citizens and their property. They can’t do it alone, as every citizen plays a role in making our neighborhoods safer.

The Cleveland Division of Police has a proud and storied history of service. Members put their lives on the line every day for their fellow citizens. Since its inception, 107 Cleveland Police Officers have died in the line of duty. Needless to say, they’ve committed to doing their part in working to make our community safer.

Become A Community Partner

We invite you to become a partner and invest in a safe community by donating to the Cleveland Police Founda-tion. Contributors to our Annual Campaign demonstrate support of law enforcement and help sustain our efforts to make Cleveland safer for all. One hundred percent (100%) of commitments go to furthering the mission of the CPF.

The Cleveland Police Athletic League provides opportunities for children in the community to participate in positive, wholesome sports, recreational, and extracur-ricular activities. The programs sponsored by “PAL” provide thousands of children between the ages of 5 and 21 with an alternative to life on the streets and provides positive role models who encourage them to stay focused on their education, respect for others, and becoming exemplary citizens who are an asset to the community.

Cleveland Police Historical Society & Museum

The Cleveland Police Museum’s mission is to collect and preserve police history, and to use its collection and programs to foster mutual understanding and respect between our police officers and the public. The museum houses extensive and unique exhibits that chronicle the significant contributions made by the members of the Cleveland Division of Police and their predecessors since the founding of the Western Reserve. Located on the first floor of Cleveland Police Headquarters, 1300 Ontario Street, it is open to the public and admission is free.

Greater Cleveland Peace Officers Memorial Society

The Greater Cleveland Peace Officers Memorial Society honors all peace officers that die in the line of duty, especially those from Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina and northern Summit counties. The Society helps to keep the promise to never forget our fallen heroes by providing assistance to the families of officers who make the ultimate sacrifice, maintaining the Greater Cleveland Peace Officers Memorial located in Huntington Park in downtown Cleveland, hosting the annual Police Memorial Commemoration, assisting law enforcement agencies with the planning and implementation of full-honors funerals, and its many other programs that help to raise the public awareness of the hazards our police officers face daily.

The Cleveland Police Foundation is Proud to Support

In addition to funding education, training, equipment, technology and community outreach programs, we are proud to support the following police charities under our umbrella.

The Pipes & Drums of the Cleveland Police

w w w. c p d p i p e s a n d d r u m s. o r g

The Pipes and Drums of the Cleveland Police, formed in 1996, serves as the musi-cal component of the Ceremonial Team. Representing the Division and the law enforcement community of Greater Cleveland at ceremonial events, parades, and civic functions, the band has performed throughout northeast Ohio, United States, Canada and Ireland. Sadly, in its short history their members have rendered final honors to 46 law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty, and 22 military personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country.

Cleveland Police Honor Guard

The Cleveland Police Honor Guard ensures that all appropriate courtesies are rendered at the funerals and memorial services for active and retired police officers, especially those that die in the line of duty. Additionally, they represent the Division at civic functions, parades and sporting events by serving as its color guard, and with its precision marching and drill.

Friends of the Cleveland Mounted Police

www.clevelandmountedpolice .com

The Friends of the Cleveland Mounted Police are both individuals and organizations that value the unique contribution the Mounted Unit makes in our community, and provides financial support to ensure its continued service. The bond between officer and horse is special, and these equine ambassadors also serve to strengthen the bond between our police and citizens.

Cleveland Cops for Kids

The Cleveland Cops For Kids program’s mission is to establish and strengthen positive relationships between police officers and our City’s greatest asset, our kids. This program allows our members that encounter children who are victims of crime, abuse and other traumatic situations to respond not only with compassion and concern for their welfare, but also the means necessary to provide timely aid and as-sistance, such as food, clothing, gifts, and other support.
