“The walla walla sheriff's foundation is dedicated to strengthening public safety. We are committed to supporting the sheriff's office through public and private resources beyond the county budget. Our principal goals are to promote and further develop partnerships between the walla walla county sheriff's office and the citizens of walla walla; develop and support programs as they relate to public safety and community outreach; and provide financial assistance to those members of the walla walla sheriff's office and their families that have been severely injured or killed in the line of duty.”

“K9 program our main focus is on acquiring and maintaining sufficient funding for the ongoing needs of the walla walla county sheriff's office and the k9 program. It is the foundation's goal to maintain a level of funding that will allow for necessary support of the walla walla county sheriff's office and the replacement of a k9 when necessary. The foundation supports the purchase of the k9 officers, training and their equipment needs. During 2020 k9 deputy murphy and his handler were certified both to the washington state standards and the higher level waspca standards. This team will help deter crime, search for items at crime scenes, protect our deputies in dengerous situations and be a true asset to our community. Training costs of 750 were paid by the foundation, as well as a bite suit for 1,530.”

“Drug abuse resistance education (d.a.r.e.) d.a.r.e. Is an education program that seeks to prevent use of controlled drugs, membership in gangs, and violent behavior. Although the d.a.r.e. Program has been very successful in walla walla county, the walla walla county sheriff's office was notified that funding for the d.a.r.e. Program would no longer be available. The foundation was asked if we would help. Several local businesses have partnered with us in hosting an annual spaghetti feed fundraiser on halloween specifically to fund this program.”

“Community care fund this fund was created in 2019 to help those who are in need of help during a stressful, painful, or otherwise scary time in their lives. Our deputities have funds at their disposal to help our community members who need assistance, whether that comes in the form of a few gallons of gas, a warm cup of coffee or even a safe place to sleep at night.”

“The foundation participates in the walla walla county fair with a booth, fundraising and other educational activiites. The foundation also participated in the no shave november fundraiser for the walla walla sheriff's office.”
