Advocating for public safety in the greater St. Cloud region

#DayOfThanks

For first responders in our community.

The Greater St. Cloud Public Safety Foundation is saying thank you to local first responders during this difficult time by providing meals. The foundation is coordinating a Day Of Thanks on May 6th, 2020, providing 925 boxed lunches to first responders in Stearns, Benton, and Sherburne County as a way of thanking them for their service.

Our Initiatives

Our vision is to engage the community to promote initiatives that support Fire, Police, and Emergency Service providers that serve our communities in Benton, Sherburne and Stearns Counties.

We own real estate in local neighborhoods, to better serve and protect our community.

We fund scholarships for students entering a public safety/first responder program.

We partner with local tech organizations to create smarter, safer schools.

We support our First Responder Community through an annual conference.

Challenges We Face

The Greater St Cloud community is facing the challenges of poverty, crime, discrimination, juvenile delinquency and the impacts of changing demographics as it becomes a more urban center in the state. 

There is a need for a focused public safety initiative led by the private sector to create the support structures necessary to build trust, encourage community engagement, and encourage overall collaboration between the public safety community and the community as a whole.
