Partnership Leads to Police Benevolent Foundation Contribution

The development of partnerships through local chapter involvement with other groups and organizations in the community is vitally important to the success of the Police Benevolent Foundation. These partnerships can also serve as a foundation to address common goals that benefit law enforcement tremendously. On March 15, 2008, the Cary chapter of the NCPBA partnered with Cary Crime Stoppers to conduct a silent auction at the 2nd Annual George Almond Officer of the Year awards banquet. Cary Crime Stoppers is a volunteer organization comprising local citizens dedicated to the reduction and quick resolution of crime. The Cary Crime Stoppers organization gathers funds to reward individuals who provide information anonymously to the Cary Police Department so that crimes can be solved. The awards banquet was attended by over 200 people and had huge support from the community. The silent auction was a huge success and will be continued as part of the annual event. To show their appreciation and continued support of this partnership, Cary Crime Stoppers chose to make a contribution to the Police Benevolent Foundation in the amount of $500.
