On September 29, more than 900 supporters turned out for the Santa Barbara Police Foundation’s (SBPF) annual, aptly named, Fun with the Force event at the Nesbitt Estate in Summerland.
The event raised funds for this very worthy nonprofit, which provides financial support for injured and ill Police Department employees and their families. It funds the At Ease program, which provides counseling services to first responders. The Foundation also purchases non-budgeted equipment.
At this casual and very fun event, guests got to chat with officers and try out (unloaded) multi-launchers and shotguns, visit with K-9 members and their officer handlers, and check out the new Mobile Command Unit and SWAT Equipment Truck.
