Activities or mission (Part I)

TO SUPPORT ACTIVITIES OF THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT TO IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY

  • Crime Stoppers - This is a program operated by the BPD that encourages citizens to call a non-traceable hot line to provide information on an anonymous basis concerning perpetrators of crimes and criminal activity. More recently, this program, under the name Text A Tip, has garnered national atention through it pioneering efforts to use text messaging from cell phones as a means of fast communication between concerned citizens and the police. The Foundation supports the infrastructure of the Text A Tip program, and also funds monetary awards that are given for information that leads to the arrest and indictment of criminals. The Foundation is a participant in the International Crime Stoppers program.

    Expenses $24,800

  • Wellness and Safety Program - The Foundation operates this program to provide funding for suicide prevention and other wellness initiatives for the Boston Police Officers.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
