About Us

Our Mission

The Central Indiana Police Foundation (CIPF) was established to provide our brave men and women in blue with the resources they need to serve and protect our communities effectively. CIPF is committed to ensuring that law enforcement officers have access to state-of-the-art equipment, ongoing training, and support services that enable them to perform their duties safely and efficiently.

We recognize the challenges and demands police officers face daily, and our foundation works tirelessly to secure the resources they require.

Our goal is to equip law enforcement with the tools necessary for their duties and to strengthen community-police relations. We believe that fostering trust and understanding between law enforcement and the communities they serve is essential for building safer and more harmonious neighborhoods.

Through collaborative programs, community outreach initiatives, and educational opportunities, CIPF strives to bridge the gap between law enforcement agencies and the public.

Our Mission Statement

The Central Indiana Police Foundation (CIPF) stands ready to strengthen the region’s policing efforts through a community-based, officer-focused approach. CIPF will realize this action plan by advancing its mission to foster community-wide support for law enforcement by supporting traumatically injured officers and their families, providing supplemental resources for officers in the line of duty, and building positive officer-community partnerships.

K9 Handler Kenneth Olson

I am K9 Handler Kenneth Olson I have been with IMPD for almost 18 years and in K9 for almost 7. CIPF has assisted me with training. They paid for my training with HRD (High Risk Deployments). I highly recommend supporting CIPF. Supporting CIPF will allow them to assist officers in all areas, from training to equipment.
