Commitment to Safety & Community Growth.
OUR MISSION
Founded as a non-profit in 2022, we assist law enforcement agencies throughout the United States on an as-needed basis to support public safety, equipping peace officers and academy cadets with essential equipment, including ballistic vests.
We have supported youth in their pursuit of law enforcement careers, provided internships, participate in the Boy Scouts of America Law Enforcement Explorer Program, and are expanding our scholarship program for law enforcement careers.
Our team helped implement the New York State Sheriffs' Association Operation SAFE CHILD identification program that secures data for AMBER and missing child alerts. We equip, train, and participate in numerous Honor and Color Guard ceremonies; provide volunteers for National Night Out, Prescription Drug Takeback, and initiatives to promote collaborative police-community partnerships.

KEY VALUES
Community, Education, & Service
Our foundation is grounded in the belief that education and community engagement are essential to building a safer future. Whether we’re assisting at a public event, offering scholarships for law enforcement cadets, or supporting safety initiatives like Operation SAFE CHILD, our team works tirelessly to create meaningful, lasting change.
We also recognize the critical importance of preparing young adults for careers in law enforcement.
We participate in the Boy Scouts of America Law Enforcement Explorer Program - Explorer Post #505. This equips youth with the hands-on experience and mentorship they need to pursue their dreams in law enforcement, and our scholarship program ensures that these future officers have the resources to succeed. Our work is a commitment to service—to our law enforcement partners, to our youth, and to the communities we serve.
