Flint Police Foundation

The Flint Police Foundation provides the funding – beyond those allocated by the city budget – to sustain and enhance the department’s crime-fighting tools needed to keep our community safe. The Mission of the Flint Police Foundation is to promote public safety through partnerships that provide resources to help the Flint Police Department perform at its highest level in service to the community. With the foresight of Flint Police Chief James Tolbert and the support of Mayor Dayne Walling and Emergency Manager Darnell Earley, the Flint Police Foundation was formed into a nonprofit, 501 (c) (3) corporation in early 2014.
