The only thing scarier than Halloween monsters? Real threats to our community’s safety.

While ghosts, goblins, and ghouls are out for Halloween, our Galveston Police Department is out there every day protecting our neighbors, keeping our streets safe, and making sure the real monsters stay at bay.

The Galveston Community Police Foundation is proud to be a beacon of support for the men and women who protect our community. But we can't do it without YOU!

We work closely with the Galveston Police Department to identify ways that we can be of assistance. Meet our department liaison, Captain Destin Sims.

A true “BOI” (Born on the Island), Captain Destin Sims is a third-generation Galveston native, deeply rooted in the community where he was born and raised. After graduating from Ball High, he pursued a strong academic path, earning an Associate of Science in Criminal Justice from Galveston College and a Bachelor of Arts in Law & Sociology from Penn State University. His commitment to professional development continued with the completion of the Certified Public Manager Program through Sam Houston State University in May 2016.

Captain Sims is a Master Peace Officer with an impressive career spanning over 28 years in law enforcement. Nearly 25 of those years have been dedicated to serving the Galveston Police Department, where he currently holds the position of Support Services Bureau Captain.

Outside of his distinguished career, Captain Sims is a devoted family man. He is married to Concetta Maceo-Sims, and together they have five children aged 30, 23, 17, 4, and 3. His faith is also a cornerstone of his life, as he is very active with his church, currently serving in a leadership role. When he’s not working or with his family, Captain Sims enjoys traveling, backpacking, exercising, and relaxing, preferably outdoors.

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible first responders who show up for Galveston every single day. From our firefighters and EMS to our City Marshals and police officers, thank you for keeping our community safe, caring for our neighbors, and always answering the call.

Galveston, let’s show them the appreciation they deserve! Take a moment today to thank a first responder, share a kind word, or let them know their dedication makes a difference. When we support those who serve us, we build a stronger community together.

Happy National First Responders Day from the Galveston Community Police Foundation!

The Galveston Community Police Foundation DOES NOT solicit donations from anyone by phone or use third parties to solicit on its behalf. If you have been contacted via telephone and asked to make donations to the Galveston Community Police Foundation, it is a scam.

Most people never see the full picture of what it takes to keep a community safe.

They see the patrol cars. The uniforms. The response.

But behind every officer is an entire support system— training, resources, and tools that aren’t always covered by a city budget. That’s where a community foundation like GCPF steps in.

Not for recognition. Not for headlines.

But because supporting those who serve our community… matters. And because we know that when you support the police department, you are contributing to the safety of our neighbors, our visitors and our island. We are all in this together, so won't you commit to being in this with us? galvestoncpf.org

Showing up. Building trust. Making a difference.

Every day, Galveston police officers step into our community to serve, protect, and look out for the people who call this island home. And so much of that work happens beyond what we see — in everyday interactions, conversations, and moments spent connecting with our neighbors.

Strong community relationships don't happen overnight. They’re built one interaction at a time, through consistency, compassion, and a commitment to serving others.

The Galveston Community Police Foundation is proud to support the officers who work hard to keep our community safe and connected. Thank you to the men and women who show up for Galveston, day after day. galvestoncpf.org

A beautiful sunset, great company, and a mission that matters!

One of the highlights of our Sunset & W**e event was getting to spotlight the Galveston Police Department’s Drone Unit! Thanks to the generosity of our community and supporters, the Galveston Community Police Foundation has been able to provide two drones to help equip our officers with valuable technology as they serve and protect our island. This is what community support looks like in action — coming together, investing in our police department, and helping provide resources that make a difference.

Do you want to be a part of the solution for Galveston? Join the Galveston Community Police Foundation today and help us to support those who keep our community safe. Galvestoncpf.org

There’s nothing better than bringing a community together!

Galveston’s annual Night Out is a great reminder that building safer neighborhoods starts with building relationships. It’s about getting out, meeting your neighbors, connecting with our officers, and showing the next generation that our community is here for them.

Here’s Chief Balli taking a moment to connect with some of our younger community members. These conversations, big and small, help build trust and strengthen the bond between law enforcement and the people they serve.

At the Galveston Community Police Foundation, we’re proud to support the people and programs that help make these connections possible. Because a stronger community is a safer community. Help us support the blue -- galvestoncpf.org.

One of the great outcomes of our Sunset & W**e event was the funding of a new K9 vehicle for the Galveston Police Department!

Thanks to the generosity of several donors who came together to support this project, the Galveston Community Police Foundation is proud to help make this investment possible. It’s a great example of what can happen when our community comes together to support the officers who serve us every day.

A K9 team is an important part of the department, helping keep officers safe, protect the community, and respond to situations where these specially trained teams make a real difference.

We’re so grateful to everyone who contributed to making this happen. Your support helps the Galveston Police Department continue doing the important work they do for our island community.
