Who We Are
An Independent Voice for
Law Enforcement Excellence
The Los Angeles Sheriff's Foundation is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose main objective is to support the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) — the largest sheriff's department in the world — through training and education, community outreach, deputy wellness and safety, equipment, state-of-the-art technology, and other vitally needed resources and programs.
We bridge the gap between available public funding and the real-world needs of the men and women who protect and serve over 10 million people in Los Angeles County. Your support directly translates into safer communities, better-equipped deputies, and a more resilient department.
