For Police Foundations - Navigating the Current Crisis.

In response to nationwide protests shortly after the death of Mr. George Floyd, The Hetty Group quickly pulled together police foundation leaders from across 18 cities in the U.S. to discuss how best to navigate the crisis that was unfolding. During a climate where anger and emotions were running high and anti-police sentiment was wide-spread, it was a difficult time for leaders of police foundations, who typically serve as the bridge between communities and police departments. It was imperative to be sensitive to the pain, anger and frustrations expressed by protesters and the nation. It was also important to support their police departments during this challenging time. It was also important to communicate with donors and board members. Through Hetty Group's Police Foundation Partners initiative, we convened resources and experts to help police foundation leaders across the country keep perspective as they led their organizations through this trying moment in history.
