The Walla Walla Police Foundation has established a community care fund to provide emergency financial assistance to community members in need. Community members in need could include victims of crimes such as domestic violence or human trafficking, or someone that just needs a handup, a hotel room for the night, or a tank of gas to get out of town to escape an abusive relationship.
WWPD Officers in years past have routinely reached into their own pockets to help those in need. The Walla Walla Police Foundation with help from its Community Partners will provide officers discretionary funds to assist a community member in need.
