Since our founding over 60 years ago, members of the Official Police Garage Association of Los Angeles (OPG’s) have been committed to making a difference in the communities where we live and work, through both volunteer work and corporate donations.

The OPG’s and its 17 members are dedicated to serving their neighbors, the residents and business’s of Los Angeles; both on the job and in the community. Service, support, commitment and giving back to the community are the OPG’s top priorities. Committed to that cause, the local OPG’s have given countless volunteer hours to numerous local organizations including charities, not for profit organizations, after school programs, and social service groups.

The OPG’s believe in being part of the solution to our community's biggest challenges. This is evident by the contributing over $100,000 annually in donations and sponsorships to agencies serving victims of child abuse, domestic violence, the elderly, and programs supporting education and literacy, and arts and culture. Countless numbers of OPG employees give generously of their time to both company-sponsored events and their favorite nonprofit organizations. These individuals share their time by helping the handicapped, serving on boards of organizations, working with health and human service agencies, teaching, reading, tutoring, working with troubled youth, coaching sports, feeding the hungry, painting, landscaping ... the list goes on and on. As an Association, and individually, OPG’s participate in various community programs.

The OPG’s focuses our involvement in the following areas:

Public Safety programs throughout the city have benefited by the OPG’s participation. Because of our close association with law enforcement, we support numerous Explorer and Reserve programs, LAPD S.W.A.T., and local station citizen awareness programs. Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Jaws of Life program and various booster programs are among many that receive the OPG’s support.

Community Outreach is a personal, individual commitment made by our employees throughout the city. Through them, we reach out to the communities where we live and work, touching people we serve. OPG’s participate in their local community groups such as their Community Police Advisory Boards and Neighborhood Council’s. These groups specifically address quality of life issues affecting our communities such as public safety, homeless, youth, senior and domestic violence and traffic. Involvement with Boys & Girl Clubs, YMCA’s, The Urban League, numerous community hospitals are just a few of the organizations benefiting by the OPG’s participation.

Education, particularly for youth has seen the OPG’s participate in programs such as the Police Activity Leagues (PAL’s), Los Angeles Center for Education Research, and LA’s Best. The OPG’s are aware of the inability of our education system to provide quality after school programs, which consist of academic tutoring, field trips, musical instrument instruction and sports.

The OPG Association has taken on the philosophy and has made it a priority to assist our youth in giving them opportunities to learn, achieve and succeed.

The OPG’s take their position and reputation in the community very seriously. They have demonstrated that the responsibility of serving as an Official Police Garage is their unconditional commitment to the City of Los Angeles, its agencies and the community..
