Donate to the Fort Myers Police Foundation
The Police Foundation raises funds to acquire equipment that cannot be funded through normal City budgets. The priorities are established by the Police Department, and our first acquisition was Trauma Kits for all of the patrol cars. Two weeks after they were deployed, four officers used one to save the life of a local citizen.
We have held a car raffle and golf tournament to raise money for this cause, but we need direct support as well.

If the solicitation occurs on a website, the statement must be conspicuously displayed on any webpage that identifies a mailing address where contributions are to be sent, identifies a telephone number to call to process contributions, or provides for online processing of contributions.
