Cash donations can be made in any amount to the Austin Police Department through the Greater Austin Crime Commission. If you prefer, you can specify the program or area that you want your gift to benefit. For example, you can designate a gift to a particular unit such as Child Abuse, Patrol, SWAT, Robbery or Homicide, and specify that it be used for training, equipment, or another use. The Greater Austin Crime Commission was formed in October 1997 to support law enforcement, raise public awareness about crime prevention programs, and promote a cooperative and coordinated anti-crime effort in our community. It is modeled after similar citizen groups in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia.
Donations are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.
