With Personal Protection Equipment in short supply, the Alexandria Police Foundation has assisted the police department in procuring more than 1,000 protective face masks for use by officers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The police foundation partnered with the department to procure over 1,000 masks through a local supplier that has worked previously with first responders.

“We cannot thank the Alexandria Police Foundation for the continued efforts in supporting our folks,” said Police Chief Michael Brown. “The masks they provided to us came at a critical time for us and we are forever grateful.”
