SDCLEF - Raising Money For Good Causes

Providing protection and safety for our families against violence, crime and law breaking citizens is the responsibility of our sheriffs and police officers. Sometimes their ability to do their job efficiently is hindered by lack of proper equipment or training within their department, which is usually the result of budgetary constraints.

The San Diego County Law Enforcement Foundation has funded many different programs and underwritten the cost of new equipment for San Diego County Police and Sheriff’s Departments so that these public servants can perform their jobs safely and efficiently. Please see our Scholarships/Grants section for more information.

2009 Fall Event

Our annual Fall Event is the Foundation's primary fund-raising event. Each year we gather for dinner with our friends, supporters, and members of the law enforcement community to celebrate our successes and raise money for the County's law enforcement agencies. From the spirited bidding at our cocktail auction, to the live music and dancing that lasts late into the night, the Fall Event proves every year that raising money for a good cause can be both entertaining and rewarding. See details.

This year's dinner honors SDCLEF's first ever Citizen of the Year, Mary Walsh of the San Diego Sheriff's Department. Mary has been the Sheriff's "right-hand" woman as long as most of us can remember, and she has worked tirelessly for both the Foundation and the County law enforcement community in general. In addition to honoring Mary, we will also be celebrating the end of an era, as Sheriff Bill Kolender and Chief Rick Emerson are ending their long and storied careers with their respective departments. Both the Sheriff and Chief Emerson have been longtime supporters of SDCLEF, and they will be sorely missed. Please join us to thank Mary for her years and years of dedicated service to the County's law enforcement community, and to send the Sheriff and Chief Emerson off with a bang. Please join us on September 12, 2009 for a night of great auction items, a wonderful dinner, and dancing to the music of the world-famous Cat-illacs.

Thank You: We are proud to recognize the following sponsors and donors from the 2009 Event. The SDCLEF thanks them for their generosity. Please support them.

Tour of the Harbor Police Facility on July 16, 2009.

On July 16, 2009, members of the SDCLEF and their guests were given an excellent tour of the San Diego Harbor Police facility. The tour was arranged by Chief Kirk Sanfilippo and conducted by Captain Don Claypool.

The event began with a tour of the headquarters building and a brief overview of the department by a representative of the Port Commission. The department has 172 employees with 145 sworn officers, and an annual budget of $29.3 million dollars. The function of the department is to provide policing, marine firefighting and rescue, and airport security.

Following the introduction we boarded a bus and were transported to the boat facility on Shelter Island. There we watched a demonstration by a K-9 unit and were shown the various boats utilized by the Harbor Police. The tour was extremely informative; everyone in attendance thought the event was very worthwhile.
