Every day, they protect and serve Laguna. We look out for them.
The Laguna Beach Police Community Foundation mission is to provide emergency aid, assistance, and scholarships to Laguna Beach Police Department employees and their dependents.
The people behind the badge
Behind every badge is a dedicated neighbor, parent, or coach. From our patrol officers and detectives to our dispatchers, K-9 handlers, and records staff, Laguna Beach’s police department is a tight-knit team deeply rooted in the community we share.
When these everyday heroes face hardship, it is our turn to look out for them. That is why the Laguna Beach Police Community Foundation exists, to ensure our local law enforcement family never walks alone.
Motor Officer Jon Coutchie
Presenting the Jon Coutchie Memorial Scholarship
A legacy that keeps giving
LBPD lost Motor Officer Jon Coutchie in the line of duty in 2013. Since 2018, a scholarship in his name has helped a Laguna Beach High School senior pursue a career in criminal justice each year.
Full Circle:
Pablo Ladislao won the Coutchie scholarship in 2019. Today he's a Laguna Beach police officer.
The Chief Neil Purcell and Skipper Carrillo scholarships now support LBPD employees and their families too.
Together we are building bridges that strengthen and enrich our community.
The Laguna Beach Police Community Foundation would like to thank our members and sponsors for their continued support.
