From bereavement grants and college scholarships to hardship grants, mental health counseling, and community engagement events, FRCF is dedicated to making a lasting positive impact. In 2022 alone, the Foundation positively impacted over 130,000 children. Assistant Chief Aaron Edwards, Patrol Borough Manhattan North Recipient of the NYPD Community Hero AwardHero Act: During March 2026 protests outside Gracie Mansion, Chief Edwards pursued two suspects after active Molotov cocktails were thrown at officers.
