HISTORY

"Supporting those who serve."

Established in 2024 by a group of dedicated officers and citizens, the Woodburn Police Foundation is a nonprofit organization with a mission to support those who serve and to strengthen the connection between the Woodburn Police Department and the community.

Our work focuses on creating opportunities for positive, personal interactions between officers and residents—through community events and public engagement. We strive to humanize law enforcement by helping our community see our officers as people, not just a “uniform and badge”.

In addition to fostering trust and relationships, the Foundation also provides essential support for officers training courses and opportunities, updated technology such as drones, police related gear to promote safety, police K9 program support like vests for our K9s and professional development resources. Looking ahead, our long-term vision includes offering scholarships to local high school students, which will allow for investing in the future of our youth and the community as a whole.
