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.
