Police Foundation
The Arlington Police Foundation
is a 501(c)(3) charity established in
2003 to support the Arlington Police
Department. The Foundation funds
essential equipment and programs
for APD which are not included
in the city General Fund. The
Foundation also provides financial
assistance for Tarrant County
families of fallen officers who are
killed in the line of duty. There are
many ways the Foundation raises
necessary funds. The Police Palooza
in October 2013 highlighted the
musical talent of APD officers and
their families. In 2013, the following
assistance was provided to APD:
In the summer of 2013, Officer
Charles Lodatto was shot while
executing a fugitive warrant. He
survived only because of the quick
response of his fellow officers
in applying pressure to stop
the bleeding of a major artery.
As a result of this incident, the
Foundation purchased Trauma
Plate Packs for patrol officers.
These pocket kits are designed
to fit inside the officer’s uniform
shirt pocket and contain lifesaving
medical supplies needed to treat any
private support
public service
penetrating trauma injury such as an
arterial gunshot or stab wound.
