We are New York City Police Department retirees dedicated to assisting honorably retired NYPD veterans, their surviving spouses and their family members

It is the mission of the NYCPD Veterans Foundation to aid and assist honorably discharged NYCPD retirees, their surviving spouses, and dependents. Such aid and assistance includes, but is not limited to, financial assistance, promoting public safety for senior citizens, promoting education via scholarship programs, providing spiritual guidance,  providing a support network for job related stress, financial setback matters, and various medical disorders.

The objectives of the NYCPD Veterans Foundation are:

 To serve as a source of financial aid to surviving spouses in the payment of health care coverage. Provide financial assistance to those in special need, (i.e., hospitalization, health care, prescription drugs, food, shelter). Develop and provide educational programs directed at younger family members with an emphasis on reducing juvenile delinquency. Develop a Scholarship Program with an emphasis on continued education. Provide spiritual comfort and guidance to members and family members in their bereavement (i.e., death, alcohol & drug abuse, dismemberment, etc.,). Develop educational programs directed at retired police officer “wellness” and establish a Support Network in an effort to reduce post retirement occupational stress. Serve as a resource and liaison with agencies and organizations involved in programs directed at reducing violence. Develop and contribute to programs that have the potential to reduce crime and violence in the senior community, with emphasis on public safety. Support and assist local law enforcement efforts in identifying programs that will have the greatest impact on reducing crime and violence, especially the prevention of crimes against senior citizens.
