Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
-Deuteronomy 31:6
Mission & Vision:
We are a small nonprofit dedicated to bridging the gap between police and communities. Our vision is that one day communities will thrive because our police officers are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy – reaching areas in the community that only they can. Our programs and services focus heavily on making meaningful changes that bring harmony and hope. Our goal is to go on a national level, encouraging community policing and involvement.
Slogan:
Together We Can | Police & Communities.
History:
Back The Blue Police was created after an appreciation luncheon for the Skiatook & Sperry Police and Fire EMT departments. While planning this event Kara received a few messages from civilians wishing to create unity and understanding among police and communities. It was clear there was a need for all voices to be heard in a respectful and kind way. Shortly thereafter, BBP was born.
Donations help us continue our mission of bridging the gap between police and communities. We rely on supporters like you to keep our nonprofit operational and our programs up and running.
No. All board members are volunteers dedicated to our mission and receive no compensation for their roles or contributions.
Back the Blue Police is focused on community and police out-reach and creating unity between police and citizens. While there are other groups and issues nationwide that involve similar topics, some of which attract controversy, we are committed to helping in a manner which is focused on results, and welcome any peaceful and legal cooperation.
Our preliminary budget is under the $50K threshold with the IRS 1023 so we were eligible to file the 1023EZ which has been submitted. Once we have financials to be able to share, as a 501(c)3, we will make our tax returns available upon request, and they will be available on GuideStar and our website.
Document numbers are on top of the Secretary Of State filings.
We strive to be completely transparent. Please submit all questions in writing to info@backthebluepolice.com so we can keep our FAQ section updated.
