Bustin' for Badges Silent Auction

The Bustin' for Badges silent auction stands as a pivotal fundraising event for the Edmonton Police Foundation, directly contributing to the strengthening of our community's safety and well-being. At the heart of this event lies the mission to bolster the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) through financial support that will be channeled into vital programs and resources. These programs are designed with the core aim of nurturing and enhancing the bond between police and the community members they serve. Such relationships are fundamental, as they lay the groundwork for mutual trust and respect, which are essential for the creation of a safe, supportive, and cohesive community.

The funds raised from the auction are instrumental in equipping our officers with the latest in specialized technology and resources. This includes not only the human members of the EPS but extends to the valiant canines of the canine unit, ensuring that all officers have the protection and tools they need to perform their duties safely and effectively. The provision of cutting-edge equipment is not a luxury but a necessity, as it directly impacts the ability of our officers to respond to emergencies, solve crimes, and protect the public.

Participating in the Bustin' for Badges silent auction is more than just an act of charity; it's an investment in the safety and quality of life in Edmonton. By supporting this event, participants contribute to a cause that touches every corner of our community. It's an opportunity to play a role in ensuring that EPS is not only well-equipped but also enjoys a relationship of trust and cooperation with the people they protect. This symbiotic relationship is the cornerstone of a resilient, safe, and thriving community.

We encourage everyone to join us in this endeavor. Your participation signals a commitment to community safety, to fostering positive relations between police and the public, and to ensuring that our officers have what they need to keep Edmonton safe. Together, we can make a substantial impact.
