MCPF is so thankful for all of our donors, sponsors, followers, shares and likes!!!!  Thank you so much for supporting the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Foundation!!!!

The Minnesota Chiefs of Police Foundation (MCPF)  is proud to support police departments across Minnesota in advancing community partnerships and strengthening public trust through the Community Partnerships Grant Program. 

The goal of the program is to support, supplement, initiate, or accelerate a department’s efforts to engage with the community in meaningful ways. All events, projects, programs, or initiatives submitted for consideration must aim to build relationships, trust, transparency, cooperation, or partnerships with the communities served.

In 2025, MCPF awarded $100,000 in Community Partnerships Grants to departments across the state. Thanks to generous donors, the Foundation will continue to offer additional grant opportunities in the future. 

MCPF's main fundraiser for these types of grants is our Annual Benefit Luncheon.  Please see flyer below or click the below link for more details.

On June 5, 2025, the Richfield Police Department held their Pizza with Police event, generously funded by the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Foundation. Law enforcement officers came together with the community for a night of Pizza with Police as an open house that provided officers and attendees an opportunity to share a slice of pizza, discuss issues, ask questions, and learn more about each other. Residents were invited to tour the PD and check out a police squad. One of our K-9 teams was on hand for demonstrations. To kick off the summer with safety in mind, there was a resource table with crime prevention materials and safety literature.  The event brought together numerous generations of Richfield residents who shared stories of the community and the positive relationship the department has and the impact made in the community with the diverse populations.  Enthusiastic attendees, including both officers and community members, and supported by a MCPF grant of $2,500, Pizza with Police exemplified the positive impact of community engagement and collaboration.
