Vision

The HCSO Foundation strives to create a safer community for us all based upon meaningful engagement between private citizens and law enforcement representatives including the recognition of the importance of a shared relationship based upon trust, collaboration and respect for the rule of law between citizens and those who serve to protect the public as guardians of the peace. The HCSO Foundation’s vision is one of collaboration and support for our HCSO deputies, HCSO law enforcement professionals and partner law enforcement agency initiatives. By providing supplemental funding for specialized training and equipment, pilot programs and community focused initiatives that are not otherwise funded within the annual HCSO budget or other sources of available funding, additional resources are allocated towards adaptable law enforcement strategies that are responsive to our community's needs based upon evaluation and recommendation by the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
