Friends of Decatur Police Department Fund created to support department

The Friends of the Decatur Police Department Fund has been created to provide the community with an opportunity to support the work of the DPD.

"The brave men and women who make up the Decatur Police Department can depend on the unwavering, steadfast support of the Heart of Illinois Community Foundation. This fund will be used to help the department with special projects, community outreach and initiatives," said HICF CEO Natalie Beck. "Some DPD initiatives fall outside city budgets and would otherwise be very difficult to execute or seriously delayed."

The fund is one more way we can connect the department with community members and work together to make Decatur a great place to live. Donors can immediately channel their private support into programs that yield tangible results: more officers, better technology, effective community partnerships, and less crime.
