The Community First Initiative

The Police Department has a bold plan to involve the community more than ever before. Programs such as the Junior Police Academy; Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) Training; Kid Escape; Law Enforcement Bridging the Gap; Citizen’s Firearm’s Safety Courses; Community Bridging the Gap, and others in development such as reviving the Police Athletic League can all benefit from the Foundation’s resources.

Police Training & Education

Dothan PD has implemented a program called the Southeast Alabama Regional Police Alliance (SARPA). This offers educational and training opportunities for not only Dothan PD, but neighboring law enforcement agencies as well. Funding can be used by the Foundation to facilitate the training of regional law enforcement officers.

Expansions for the Wiregrass Public Safety Center (WPSC) for future programs are inevitable. Funding to the Foundation may be used for these facility upgrades and to buy equipment needed to better train our area police officers.
