Rise Tampa Our Police Foundation

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF RISE TAMPA OUR POLICE FOUNDATION IS MAINLY TWO-FOLD. TO ENSURE THAT OFFICERS RECEIVE THE LATEST TRAINING, SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY, WE SUPPORT THE VARIOUS UNITS WITHIN THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT SUCH AS THE BICYCLE UNIT, THE K9 UNIT AND THE PISTOL CLUB. ALSO, WE PROVIDE COMMUNITY OUTREACH THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OFFICERS AND CITIZENS THROUGH PROGRAMS SUCH AS RESOURCES IN COMMUNITY HOPE (RICH) HOUSE (SAFE HOUSES FOR KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY), THE EXPLORERS (MENTORING PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN INTERESTED IN POLICE CAREERS) AND BLACK HISTORY.
