GETTING TO KNOW… SCV Sheriff’s Foundation
About US
The Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit benefit corporation. The organization first began as a Sheriff’s Booster Club in 1984 by a group of volunteer community members who wanted to support our local law enforcement in a tangible way. The organization raised funds to provide equipment, training, and other resources for the station.
In 2009, the booster club reorganized as the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Foundation to reflect the on-going breadth and scope of its support. The Foundation provides equipment and services that are not provided by Los Angeles County or the City of Santa Clarita. In addition to helping provide needed technology, equipment, and training, the Foundation provides funding for Search & Rescue, Explorer, Reserve Deputy, and Civilian Volunteer Programs.
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Foundation assists local law enforcement.
This volunteer organization was formed in 1984 by community members to assist local law enforcement in a tangible way, purchasing equipment and crime prevention materials, as well as raising funds to help the Civilian Volunteer, Law Enforcement Explorer, and Reserve Deputy Programs at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
