MADISON COMMUNITY POLICING FOUNDATION
The Madison Community Policing Foundation (MCPF) is a non-profit organization established in 2016 by a small group of retired Madison police officers. In our Articles of Incorporation we state:
“The MCPF corporation is organized exclusively as an organization for supporting the community policing mission of public police departments, with particular emphasis in supporting the community policing mission of the Madison Wisconsin Police Department, but limited to such activities permitted under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.”
SUPPORT
Support both financially and with volunteers any community policing activities or events which bring police officers, youth, adults and elderly together.
HONOR
Honor those men and women police officers working in our communities today, and those who have served our communities in the past.
GROW
Grow the relationship between local police and our communities.
There are several private, non-profit organizations which exist to support the missions of public agencies. Locally, the Madison Parks Foundation, the Madison Library Foundation and the Madison Public Schools Foundation are examples of private, non-profit organizations that exist to raise additional funds and revenue for these critically important public agencies. With respect to public police departments, many communities across the United States have private, non-profit organizations, usually started by business leaders, which exist to support their respective police agencies. Locally, Capital K9s, Inc. and Madison Mounted, Inc. are examples of two private, non-profit organizations who provide financial assistance to the Madison Police Department’s K9 and Mounted Horse Patrol Units.
