Our Story
In October, 2012, former Chief Douglas A. Goodman of the Ashland Police Department realized a need for an organization to help officers in times of need. Following an officer’s tragic loss, it was determined that a benevolent resource was necessary to help those in the department during these difficult times. He worked with members of the Ashland community and as a result the Foundation was formed by a group of eleven volunteer members. Since its creation, the Foundation not only supports officers but gives back to the community it serves. It is funded through donations and annual fundraisers.
