Promoting Officer & Community Safety

The Denver Police Foundation knows that officer and community safety is paramount. We will look for and support efforts to protect our officers and community through innovative tools that save lives. We also emphasize partnerships that leverage the Foundation’s funding.

Gunshot Trauma Kits

These kits contain tourniquets, blood clotting agents and other equipment designed to be used by first-responding officers in crisis situations before medical personnel can respond to an incident. Officers with these kits in their vehicles are credited with saving the lives of four officers and countless civilians.

Digital Speed Signs

Traffic safety is important to keeping everyone in our community safe. The Foundation purchased digital speed signs that will be moved throughout the city experiencing an increase in traffic violations.
