Smarr Smith Foundation has gala planning in full effect – Americus Times-Recorder – Michigan

https://www.americustimesrecorder.com/2023/02/11/smarr-smith-foundation-has-gala-planning-in-full-effect/

After presenting a check to South Georgia Technical College President, Dr. John Watford, to further scholarships for law enforcement students, the board of the Smarr Smith Foundation (SSF) sat down around a fine lunch and continued their work to ensure the community has a way to support the efforts of three local law enforcement agencies.

The SSF provides an opportunity to ensure the Americus Police Department, GSW Public Safety and the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office gets the tools needed to do their job. This could include anything from body armor and cameras, to stop sticks, to drones and funding of ongoing education. For six years the SSF has been a way for the community to show their support of law enforcement. For six years, the community always is successful in backing up our men and women in blue. Thus far, the SSF has given over $100,000 for training and equipment needs. In addition to this, the foundation has given over $35,000 in scholarship funding. Those dollars belong to this community. The heads of the three departments decide what is most vital to the everyday work. The SSF then purchases those items. Every dollar given to the SSF ultimately ends up going towards very specific and valuable needs. These needs would go unmet but for the community stepping up and refusing to let our officers be without what they need to get the job done.
