WAYS TO SUPPORT
TOGETHER FOR A SAFER ABBOTSFORD
We rely on community support to fund initiatives that aim to reduce crime in our growing city. Your contribution helps us connect police with our community, build positive relationships, and enables us to fund engaging Abbotsford Police Department initiatives.
Thanks to you
With your help, the Abbotsford Police Foundation can support our Abbotsford Police Department programs and initiatives that help connect police with community and build positive relationships.
YOUR GENEROSITY AT WORK
Abbotsford Police City Basketball Tournament
An annual city-wide basketball tournament that encourages youth to make positive choices by participating in sport. More than 750 players, coaches, volunteers and 1000+ members of the community are involved in the tournament each year. Police officers participate on the organizing committee and are in attendance at every game providing a positive role model for our youth.
K9 Program
In 2019 we purchased four Kevlar protective vests for the police dogs who are partnered with AbbyPD officers. We also launched a pilot "K9 Retirement Program" to help defray costs for veterinary, food and insurance for the retired police service dogs. The pilot program was a success that in 2020 it became a permanent initiative that we will continue to fund.
Youth Making Positive Choices
This Abbotsford Police Department initiative is designed to engage and empower youth to make positive life choices. The program was developed by the Abbotsford Police Department in collaboration with Abbotsford School District #34 and other community partners and is designed to educate young people on the potential dangers associated with their decision making.
Specialized Equipment
Each year we strive to purchase specialty equipment for the Abbotsford Police Department. These are tools that fall outside of their annual operating budget, but would greatly help AbbyPD safeguard the community.
With your support, we purchased an aerial drone which assists police by providing a bird's eye view of crime and disaster scenes they may not otherwise be able to see, an ATV Gator giving AbbyPD access to remote and otherwise inaccessible locations surrounding the city and have contributed to the purchase of a training simulator which will allow officers to train for real-life scenarios in a simulated environment.
"Last year the Abbotsford Police
Department was able to purchase a training simulator thanks to the generosity of our community and support from the Abbotsford Police Foundation. The simulator greatly enhances our ability to train our AbbyPD members in responding to dynamic and dangerous situations. Having this training available to AbbyPD will help to keep our community and brave police officers safe. This equipment is something that we could not afford to purchase with our current operating budget. It is a three screen simulator that puts our officers into simulated dangerous situations and provides them an opportunity to respond, learn, and train from that experience.
"We truly appreciate the support and your commitment to helping us make Abbotsford the Safest city in BC" ~ Chief Constable Mike Serr
