LEAF

The Law Enforcement Assistance Fund has been around since 2008, and its primary function is to provide support for the families of officers who were killed in the line of duty. The main goal of this charity is to provide funds for our fallen officers’ children to go to college and provides their children with birthday and Christmas presents. The fund also provides an annual $5,000 scholarship for LVPPA members’ children. Due to your generosity and the success of our fundraising events, we have been able to add a $20,000 immediate needs benefit in which we will give the fallen officer’s family $20,000 immediately to help with unforeseen costs to the family. For 2026, we will be awarding six $5,000 scholarships to members’ children.

To qualify for these scholarships, your child must be a high school senior, and you must be a member of the LVPPA and making recurring donations to LEAF as of July 31, 2025. Every year, the department pushes United Way charities on you
and even forces you to sign the donation forms and turn them back in. I believe your donations are better served going to LVMPD families, and all your money will go to those causes as we have no salaries or payroll paid for by the charity.
This charity’s sole purpose is to provide support to law enforcement families.

This year we can continue to give out scholarships and expand our benefits because of the fund’s strong return on its investments and because of your generosity and the generosity of our partners in the community. If you do not already, I urge you to think about donating to a fund that directly supports the families of your fellow officers first so that we can continue to take care of our fallen families and expand upon our benefits. If you wish to donate to the Law Enforcement Assistance Fund (LEAF) you can do so by filling out the LVMPD payroll deduction form and filling in your desired donation amount in the LEAF donation slot.
