The New York City Police Foundation (NYCPF) is a non-profit established in 1971 by the Association for a Better New York to privately fund New York City Police Department initiatives. The organization has been criticized for lacking transparency in its fundraising and donations. It is regarded as the first major police foundation in the United States.
