So many police
departments today lack
the necessary equipment needed to fight crime effectively.

With many municipal budgets stretched thin, many public safety needs are not met. The Virginia Police Defense Fund works to help "plug the gaps" in budgets where it is needed.

From safety equipment to computers that help the process become more efficient, donations from the VA PDF help make our officers’ jobs a bit easier. Donations from the VA PDF also go to the families of officers who are injured on the job or meet an untimely death.

Donations made to the Virginia Police Defense Fund go DIRECTLY to helping police officers. Donors can be assured that their financial contributions are helping our police and public safety departments do their work effectively – which means safer neighborhoods and communities for our families and loved ones.

We appreciate your financial donations, and please know that they are being used in a way that benefits not just police officers, but many communities as well.
