Our Impact & Future Priorities
Since 2024, the Greenville Police Foundation has provided approximately $47,000 in direct aid to injured officers and their families. As our city grows, so does our responsibility. See where we’ve been and where we’re headed next, from K9s and equipment to officer well-being.
GPD Officer Testimonial
On May 28, 2024, officers attempted to take a suspect into custody after he assaulted another officer and tried to flee. During the arrest, I tackled him. When we hit the ground, I felt a pop and immediately lost feeling in my left arm. I was transported to the hospital, where tests confirmed I had torn my pectoralis major and would require surgery. I was told recovery could take six months, with the possibility the surgery might not fully repair the injury, leaving me with a permanent tear.
While processing the injury was difficult, my biggest concern was how I would support my wife and son. Law enforcement salaries are modest, and overtime is often essential income. Because I was placed on light duty, I was unable to work overtime, and workers’ compensation reduced my pay to 60% of my normal salary.
Within two weeks of my injury, the GPF reached out and reassured me they would support my family throughout my recovery. Knowing financial assistance was available gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to focus on surgery and healing instead of financial stress.
The support provided to law enforcement families is truly invaluable. The comfort and stability it brought to my family during a difficult time is impossible to fully express, and we will always be grateful to the GPF.
