BluelineSmall town police departments have to fight the
same criminal elements as do major metropolitan area departments.
But they often lack the latest in crime fighting equipment. The
Blueline Foundation is designed to help these smaller departments
battle crime in their areas. The Blueline Foundation is dedicated
to protecting law enforcement with the proper equipment and
latest technology. Blueline assists departments that represent
communities with 25000 people or less.
Blueline leaders understand the real
value of smaller departments to the
overall fight against crime. The efforts
of smaller departments to better patrol
their neighborhoods and have a keen
understanding of the families who they
protect often leads to crime prevention.
It is true that small police departments
often have an advantage over their
metropolitan forces next door. The
stronger the smaller departments the
better crime fighting is overall.
Small departments make a big difference.
100% of the funds go directly to The Blueline Foundation. This foundation
is not associated with any other organizations, and
the proceeds go exclusively to the management of the
foundation and to the police forces across the country
that earn Blueline Foundation grants for better equipment,
training, communications, research and more.
How can you save a life?Take a stance. Don’t stand on the sideline, join
The Blueline brigade. Contribute your time,
money, resources, ideas and more to help
small town police forces strengthen themselves
against the ravages of crime. So many of
our police men and women lack the proper
protection in small towns and communities.
The help you provide could outfit our law
enforcement against the violent criminal.
Lef t: In the af termath of
Hurricane Katrina, Dan Aykroyd
came to the rescue of a small
town police depar tment in
Southeast Louisiana. He saw
first hand the need of smaller
police forces in the midst of
a catastrophe. It was then
that Dan decided to form The
Blueline Foundation and lend
a big helping hand to small
depar tments across America
A Message from DanAll across our country, brave men and women put themselves on the
line to protect us from the wrath of violent criminals. In the small towns
and communities across our United States, the police teams are often
challenged by a lack of equipment, manpower, training and more. I have
formed this foundation to begin making a difference in the life of today’s
police officer who works on a small town force. I hope you will consider
contributing to this very important effort.

DAN AYKROYD studied political science and criminal sociology in college. He has been an ardent support of law enforcement throughout his career. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina devastated parts of Louisiana and Mississippi, Dan founded the Blueline Foundation to help small police departments better fund some of their most critical needs.
PETER DALE, a former small town Chief of Police, served as Chairman of the Louisiana Chiefs of Police Association. Peter chose to commission Dan when he realized his passion for law enforcement and his willingness to help small departments find the necessary funding to take on today’s criminal. Peter recently retired as Chief, and operates his own security company.
JIM BELUSHI is an actor, comedian, and musician whose friendship with Dan dates back to old SNL days. In 2003, Jim and Dan released the album Have Love, Will Travel, and participated in an accompanying tour. Jim also joins an updated version of The Blues Brothers as Zee Blues. He is a supporter of Dan’s vision to help police departments across the country battle crime.
The men on the line. The leaders behind Blueline.
