OUR COMMITMENT TO SERVE DOESN’T END WHEN OUR SHIFT IS OVER.

Shields for kids is a 501(c)(3) local nonprofit made up of officers from the San Antonio Police Department, Bexar County Sheriff’s Office and surrounding law enforcement agencies. These officers, along with community volunteers, provide a wide variety of assistance to kids in need that they normally cannot give while “on duty”. Our organization allows these officers, in their “off duty” status, the ability to provide assistance to underprivileged children in the community in which they serve and protect. This includes hand delivering presents during the holidays, teddy bears for children at the children’s shelter, gifts for sick children staying at the Ronald McDonald House or hosting outdoor activities for children with disabilities, all without the worries of the dangers involved with being “on duty” or “on a call”.
