Eduard de Guardiola Why You Should Be an Active
Supporter of Local Police Department
2
There are many ways in which one can support
their local police department and countless
benefits that derive from contributing support.
In this blog, Eduard de Guardiola of Vista Realty
Partners and the de Guardiola Family Office will
showcase how you can contribute to your local
police department and the advantages of your
donations.

The two most common routes for supporting local
police departments can be split into two
categories, volunteering, and financial
contributions, both of which can be approached in
many ways. Lets begin with volunteer options,
for those who are more inclined to take the
proactive approach.

Supporting your local police by actively
volunteering

• There are several paths to volunteering with your
  local police department, and as with the pursuit
  of a career, you should approach volunteering
  based on what you like and what your experience
  is. For example, if you like crunching numbers
  and are a professional accountant, consider
  assisting with administrative duties. Or, if you
  are active and like to be outdoors, take part in
  a community watch program that keeps an eye out
  in your neighborhood. Eduard de Guardiola has
  created a small checklist below of some ideas and
  ways in which you can volunteer your time and
  services.
• Serve on a citizen advisory board
• Participate in a citizens police academy
• Participate in a neighborhood watch
• Participate in police initiatives projects and
  programs
• Attend community meetings
• Participate in law enforcement surveys

Contributing by making financial donations to
your local police department
For those who are too busy to actively volunteer
or are more inclined to give back by making
financial donations, there are many options and
benefits to giving back in this manner. One of
the greatest aspects of donating to police
departments is that you can often allocate the
donation to an area that is meaningful to you or
your family.

For instance, if you have been subject to
identity theft, a growing problem in America,
your donation could support the departments
online criminal investigations unit. Eduard de
Guardiola suggests that you ask your local police
department if this is possible, as special local
rules and regulations may vary.

Another advantage of making a financial
contribution is that they are typically tax
deductible. This could pay off when it comes time
to file your annual income taxes, providing you
with financial relief and possible higher return.
Along with serving as a tax deduction, donating
to charities can be a great means of
networking. Whether by serving on a citizen
advisory board, joining your local neighborhood
watch or attending community law enforcement
meetings, Eduard de Guardiola is here to tell you
that there is no shortage of ways that you can
help out by volunteering. Contact your local
police department and ask how you could be of
assistance.
