The Pasadena Police Foundation is hosting its annual breakfast with Pasadena's Chief of Police, Gene Harris on Thursday October 17, 2024 at Hilton Pasadena located at 168 S. Los Robles Ave., Pasadena, CA 91101 in the International Ballroom. Check-in will begin at 7:00 a.m. with the program beginning at 7:30 a.m..
The fundraising event is intended to give residents, members of business, non-profit community, and friends an opportunity to meet with Police Chief Gene Harris and hear about the current goals and accomplishments of the Pasadena Police Department (PPD). The Police Foundation's Annual Breakfast is also an opportunity to see first-hand how the Foundation fulfills its mission to support the planning, development, and implementation of programs and activities of the Department and vital programs such as, the Kids Safety Academy, the Junior Public Safety Academy, the Explorer Program, and other Police resources that enhance community safety.
This year we are raising funds to support our various youth programs including the Kids Safety Academy, and the Explorer Program, the new Wellness Program, and K-9 Unit. Funds from this year's fund raiser will support these programs and scholarships for Camp Pasadena which provides an environment for youth and young adults to work with officers, build life skills and self-reliance, and the possibility of a police career. The Explorer program is for youth ages 14-21 thinking of a career in law enforcement. The Pasadena Police Explorer program currently has over 40 young people who are active in civic engagement, public service, and leadership roles within the community.
Marc Cota-Robles from ABC7 Eyewitness News will be the emcee for the event.
