Throughout the many years of involvement within this organization, I strongly feel that we have been able to serve a strong role in bettering the community relations between the public and our law enforcement partners. We have been able to achieve this through successful community engagement events and through successful social media marketing. As this continues to occur in the coming years, it will allow for more and more agencies and community members to feel the positive effects that community engagement can have in their communities.

Police Pictures is a remarkable nonprofit dedicated to honoring and celebrating the vital role of police officers in our communities through the powerful medium of photography. Their heartfelt mission to capture and showcase the humanity behind the badge not only highlights the dedication and sacrifices these officers make daily but also fosters a deeper connection between law enforcement and the public. Each photograph tells a compelling story, showcasing both the professionalism and the personal side of officers, allowing viewers to appreciate the diverse personalities within the force. The organization’s commitment to supporting officers during special moments, such as graduations and memorials, is commendable and underscores their role as compassionate storytellers. In an era where community relations with law enforcement are crucial, Police Pictures plays an essential role in bridging the gap through beautiful imagery that inspires trust, respect, and understanding.

Police Pictures is a wonderful non profit organization that focuses on supporting and humanizing Law Enforcement. They go above and beyond with creating and attending events to help bring the community and law enforcement together. I have seen first hand the hard work put forth into making this organization as successful as it can be. This cause is so important to the members, who are all volunteers. I have no doubt this organization will continue to strive and grow, as it holds a special place in Josh's heart. His ambition is endless and I am proud of how far he has come with this wonderful organization and excited to see where it will go from here. I am proud to be even a small part in it's successes.

In March Police Pictures held a pancake breakfast for our community. I volunteered as a cook for this event. During this event they really have to our community by doing Easter raffles during the breakfast.

I have volunteered with this organization several times in the past, frequently helping out with their community bonding activities (Trunk or Treats, Pancake Breakfasts, etc). Josh Kelly, the organization’s executive director, who is genuinely one of the nicest guys I have ever had the privilege of meeting, reached out for volunteers for their truly heartwarming projects, and I happily signed up each time. The organization is filled with so many wonderful and inspiring people, all working towards an important and lasting goal. The organization’s aim to humanize law enforcement and build a relationship with the community is tremendously crucial and impactful. This group of people deserves so much recognition and respect for their efforts in this advantageous endeavor. Thank you, Police Pictures!

I think it’s awesome that there is an organization like Police Pictures. The idea to bridge the gap between officers and the public is invaluable in today’s world. The different events that they either plan or attend is awesome! There is an event called “Trunk or Treat” this weekend that is always fun. The officers from different places come and decorate their police cruiser trunks and pass out candy to the kids who attend. It also gives officers the opportunity to interact with the kids and their parents. Everyone really has a great time. Josh Kelly works very hard to make these events fun and interesting. The whole team from Police Pictures are all volunteers. They donate their time to help with these great projects. I know that Josh and his team have been doing this have been doing this since high school and still continue. I believe that if we had more kids like Josh and his team, we would be living in a very different world.

Having seen Josh and his team in action for years now, it is an extreme honor to have recently joined Police Pictures to serve as a Board Member. Police Pictures does an amazing job at supporting local law enforcement in the NE Ohio region, along with across the entire state. I've watched them help out departments large and small with funding various things within their departments, and Police Pictures makes sure to live up to its name by being present at various functions across the state to photograph Law Enforcement related events in action. It has also been a pleasure and amazing to see the Lorain County & Surrounding area(s) Trunk or Treat program absolutely take off this year, with more than 30 departments taking part in this amazing community oriented event. I am so happy to be apart of the team!

There is a lot I could say about Police Pictures. There are some incredible people running this organization. I have had the pleasure of taking photographs during some of their events. Their dedication to humanizing the badge, showing the positive side of law enforcement and everything they do to help police departments is incredible. For having such a small group of people running this organization it is truly remarkable what they are able to accomplish. I look forward to working alongside them again in the future.

A rare case of a non-profit that delivers tangible results and remains true to its cause. The support they provide to police departments and law enforcement officers is phenomenal because they do not only showcase the spirit of service and self-sacrifice with which the men dedicated to the thin blue line work with but they have also stepped up in difficult times like the COVID-19 pandemic to provide whatever they could so as those serving could have the tools to continue to serve and protect. With the above simply being just a couple of examples of the amazing work Police Pictures is conducting, I can only applaud the passion and dedication with which these fine young men and women are selflessly operating this organization. Having had the opportunity to exchange views with Josh Kelly, a founding member and their CFO, I can only state that such fine examples of the young generation provide hope for a bright future for law enforcement and the country alike.

Serving as the Chief Financial Officer, since day one, it has been my mission to support law enforcement officers.
I have been with this organization, since before we became a nonprofit.
The journey has been long, and ever so worth it. Looking back, and seeing the progress is incredible to look back at. Each step along the way. The way it has evolved to become something great- the people I have volunteered with- I could not ask to be with a better team.
As our organization continues to grow, I am glad to be apart of it- making a change within our community.
Thank you everyone for your continued support. It does not go unnoticed.
