Welcome Our Mission Statement

The mission of the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Foundation (SALEF) is to raise funds to acquire or supplement the purchase of critical life-saving equipment, technology and training for our Police Officers.  Also to create community programs which benefit our citizens and support positive relations between our citizens and law enforcement.

Currently, the following agencies benefit from a SALEF partnership: Tucson Police Department, Marana Police Department, The University of Arizona Police Department and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.  As SALEF expands, we hope to partner with South Tucson Police Department, Oro Valley Police Department and Sahuarita Police Department.

Adopt A Cop

The Adopt A Cop program was developed in 2011 as a fundraising campaign for replacement bullet proof vests for Tucson Police Officers who wore vests past the 5 year manufacturer effective date.

Since 2011, the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Foundation has assisted TPD in funding over 400 vests and helped to accomplish providing every patrol officer with a replacement vest.  The Foundation continues to raise funds for life saving equipment such as ballistic vests.  You can protect those that are protecting you by donating today.
