Our Story

A Legacy of Service

From humble beginnings to an international network of heroes supporting heroes

How We Started

The International Police & Veterans Foundation was established by a group of dedicated law enforcement professionals and veterans who recognized the need for a support network that transcends borders and brings together those who share the common bond of service.

What began as informal gatherings of officers sharing experiences and supporting one another has grown into an international organization with chapters across the United States and partner organizations around the world.

Our Growth

Today, the IPVF NYC Chapter serves as a hub for police officers, veterans, and first responders throughout the New York metropolitan area. We've expanded our programs to include comprehensive scholarship assistance, family support services, and international exchange opportunities.

Our foundation has awarded over $2 million in scholarships, supported hundreds of families in need, and built lasting partnerships with law enforcement organizations across multiple continents.
