Law Enforcement Foundation

The Law Enforcement Foundation extends the reach and support of law enforcement’s role in Ohio communities through professional education and training programs that enhance quality of life and protect the values of citizenship. We are committed to preparing and educating leaders in law enforcement to be an integral part of their communities across Ohio and making our neighborhoods happier, stronger, safer, and more prosperous places. We work in partnership with our sister organization, the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police. The Law Enforcement Foundation is the only entity in Ohio certified to train Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) officers. The Law Enforcement Foundation is also the only entity to provide a three-tiered, executive-level management training for law enforcement, culminating in a Masters-level certification in law enforcement management. Thanks to the generosity of individual donors and foundations, the Foundation subsidizes the tuition to all of the education programs to minimize expenses for Ohio taxpayers and local law enforcement. Our programs are unique in the law enforcement community and are nationally regarded as the gold standard for law enforcement continuing education.
