Your support protects southeast Idaho

The Greater Idaho Falls Police Foundation will promote public safety by providing resources and support to the law enforcement community, utilizing innovative solutions and advocacy between the community and law enforcement with compassion, integrity, financial and community support. With your help, The Foundation will do this by:

  • Funding critical needs and shortages that police department budgets do not cover
  • Providing training and education opportunities to the law enforcement community
  • Supporting effective programs that fight domestic violence, online predators, drug addiction, and more
  • Advocating for better safety measures and practices in our communities
  • Strengthening relationships between local law enforcement and the public
  • Raising awareness about the outstanding service that our local law enforcement officers provide

Public safety cannot rest on the shoulders of law enforcement alone. As much as we all need the police, they need our support as well.

The Foundation is a way for citizens and businesses to come together to support our heroes in blue. Learn more about our commitment to police officers and citizens like you.

This organization was founded to demonstrate our community’s support for the difficult jobs held by our region’s law enforcement officers and bridge the gap between what they need versus what their existing budgets allow. GIFPF enhances the partnership between the public and the police. Remember that public safety requires the entire community’s support, so please join with us in this important work!

Tony Lima
Melaleuca Vice President

Safety is essential for both individuals and communities to thrive. Rules, laws and regulations are necessary to promote predictability and cooperation. Without these things society would quickly devolve into chaos. Our law enforcement officers have accepted this sacred charge to defend and protect and to be the guardians of our collective well-being. Though fulfilling, the job can also be difficult and the consequences for officers (and their families) can be significant. It follows that if we each need to be safe, whole, and healthy, our officers need those things, too. For law Enforcement to take care of us, we must be committed to taking care of them. The GIFPF exists to address the needs of our local law enforcement and to attend to their physical, emotional and mental health needs. Please help us help them, and donate to this very worthy, and timely cause.
