SD Police Foundation Gold Shield Gala
Join San Diego Police Chief David Nisleit and “America's Finest” officers for the 8th annual Gold Shield Gala. This year’s gala theme is “Viva Azul” which celebrates the multi-cultural essence of San Diego and captures the passion community members feel for supporting the brave men and women of the San Diego Police Department. Attendees will enjoy a dinner and dancing soirée as Foundation Meets Flamenco. Kristi Pieper will serve as Gala Chair, Helen and Chris Ghio will serve as Honorary Chairs and Chief David Nisleit will be the evening’s guest of honor. SDPD’s Assistant Chiefs and K9 Unit Officers will also be in attendance. Donations received during the Gold Shield Gala will support the work and mission of the San Diego Police Foundation. The special charitable focus of this year’s Gold Shield Gala is the K9 Crimefighter Campaign, which funds the purchase of new police dogs for America’s Finest K9 Unit as well as equipment and training to keep this renowned unit at its peak.
