While Thursday was National First Responders Day, we recognized all of our first responders with a week long event. Hot Cocoa and Coffee Bar with cider, cookies and fixings for the drinks, and a Cereal Bar with cereal, oatmeal and Pop Tarts. By far the Pop Tarts were the the biggest hit! Who knew??? 😀 we ended the week today with goody bags for everyone. We appreciate our staff, both sworn and civilians couldn’t do it without them! Police Department, City of Alexandria, Virginia

While this article in the Washington Post was written two years ago, it still is true today. Former SROs, Johnny and Gary, are no longer at Alexandria City High School (TC Williams HS) but they are still coaching soccer for students at the school. The kids are playing in the Alexandria Soccer fall league and doing great. We are happy to be able to support Johnny, Gary and the kids. This is not Johnny and Gary's assignment at APD but they want to continue building the relationships they had last year. Police Department, City of Alexandria, Virginia

Thank you to the Alexandria Police Camp Board and Sgt. Lennon for putting on this great event. It is always great to raise money to send kids to camp!
The Alexandria Police Youth Camp hosted its "Send A Kid to Camp" Golf Classic today. Thank you to the APYC board, especially Sgt. Lennon, for putting on a great event!
More than 20,000 kids have attended camp, which was founded by a group of APD officers in 1947. Police department employees volunteer hundreds of hours each year to support the camp.

At the Dedication of the Alexandria Police Fallen Officers Memorial on Saturday, March 28, 2015.
The Alexandria Police Foundation (APF) is focused on its main mission of supporting the work of the men and women who serve every day to make Alexandria the safe place it is to live, work, play and visit. We focus on three specific areas:
· K-9s – APF pays for medical insurance and medical bills not covered by insurance for our retired 4-legged K-9 officers. The APF also supports our active 4-legged officers by providing them equipment over and above their budget.
· Kids – In 1936, the idea of a camp was born when officers from the Alexandria Police Department, along with a sports reporter for the Alexandria Gazette, decided to find a place for the children of Alexandria during the summer. The Alexandria Police Association endorsed the idea and in 1947 the 97-acre camp opened in Kilmarnock, VA. APF supports sending 20 children to camp each year.
· COPS – APF supports the Community Oriented Policing Section (COPS) of the Alexandria Police Department. Officers are assigned to introduce young people in the City to the police department in a positive way. They do this with help from APF by providing meals at Thanksgiving to underprivileged families; shop with a COP pairs officers with a child to shop for a toy for him or her; community events where officers bring out an ice cream cart and hot dogs to distribute to children; COPS officers take kids to sporting games such as the Washington Nationals ball games, Wizards basketball games, and more during the year. In 2016 COPS added Easter and Halloween events to the growing list of engagement opportunities.
