One of Our Four Strategic Pillars

Community
Engagement

★

Building stronger relationships.
Creating a safer, more connected Jeffersontown.

Foundation support helps create positive opportunities for residents and officers to connect outside of emergencies. Through outreach, youth programs, neighborhood events, service and informal conversation, we help build trust before a crisis happens.

Community Events

Support for National Night Out, neighborhood gatherings, open houses and other events that create relaxed opportunities for conversation, connection and relationship-building.

More Than Events.
It’s About Relationships.

Every conversation, school visit, neighborhood gathering and act of service is an opportunity to strengthen trust. The Foundation helps JPD create more opportunities for officers and residents to connect—not because there is an emergency, but because strong relationships are part of a safer, stronger community.
