Can you tell me about the Kittery Police Association (KPBA)?

The Mission of the Kittery Police Benevolent Association

The Mission of the KPBA is to promote and enhance the relationship between the Kittery Police Department and the public and to encourage professionalism, integrity and esprit de corps among its members.

About the Kittery Police Benevolent Association

The Kittery Police Benevolent Association is administered by a small group of officers who take requests for assistance or donations from individuals and organizations.  The group forwards the request to the general membership of the association, who vote on each request.  Officers in the Kittery Police Department give a small portion of their pay each week to fund many of the charities. We also get unsolicited donation checks from individuals and businesses throughout the year.

Each year the Kittery Police Benevolent Association (KPBA) supports numerous charities, or special requests in our community.  Previous request include:

  • Donation to the family of an Eliot elementary student battling Cancer.
  • Donation for the Traip Academy football field bleachers.
  • Assistance to a disabled Kittery resident to purchase a van. 
  • Annual donations to Footprints Food Pantry
  • Donation to a Kittery elementary student who was accepted to a performing arts camp in Los Angeles California. 

In addition, each year the KPBA supports youth drug and alcohol awareness and Camp Postcard, a summer camp for under privileged children.

The KPBA also provides a scholarship each year to a Traip Academy student who is pursuing a career in Law Enforcement or related field.

We want to thank all the residents of Kittery for their continued support and we wish to remind you that if you have a charity, worthy cause or special case that you would like considered for our support, please feel free to contact the KPBA:
