Police Foundations Department

The Police Foundations Department in Toronto focuses on the impact of corporate-financed police foundations on marginalized communities, highlighting their role in the militarization of policing and the expansion of police budgets. Through extensive research, they reveal over 1,200 corporate donations and the involvement of executives in police foundations that exacerbate systemic biases against Black, Brown, and Indigenous people.

By documenting the influence of private funding on policing practices, the department exposes how police foundations facilitate the purchase of military equipment and surveillance technologies, undermining efforts to promote community safety and accountability. Their findings call for accountability from corporations to divest from violence within policing and to invest in supportive community resources instead.
