The Jeffersontown Police Foundation strengthens public safety by raising private support for essential resources, advanced equipment, officer wellness, community engagement and innovative programs that extend beyond public funding.
The Jeffersontown Police Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization devoted to bolstering public safety in Jeffersontown. As the entity authorized to raise private funds for the Jeffersontown Police Department, the Foundation supplies essential resources, advanced equipment and innovative programs not covered by public funding.
To enhance the efficiency, preparedness and outreach of the Jeffersontown Police Department, ensuring the community remains among the safest, most connected and welcoming places for everyone—residents, workers and visitors alike.
The Foundation envisions a future where public safety is driven by innovation, built on trust and strengthened through community collaboration, positioning Jeffersontown as a model of proactive, community-focused policing.
The Board is comprised of diverse professionals united by a shared commitment to supporting the Jeffersontown Police Department and nurturing the relationship between law enforcement and the community. Their ethos reflects respect, service and unity, reinforcing the idea that “In J-Town, we are more than just a town—we’re family.”
Four strategic pillars guide the Foundation’s work and help ensure private support advances the priorities established for the Jeffersontown Police Department and the community it serves.

Supporting officers’ physical, mental and emotional well-being through wellness programs that promote resilience and sustained performance.
Creating safer, more connected neighborhoods by funding forward-thinking methods of community policing that emphasize partnerships, creative problem-solving and proactive strategies.
