Does this sound like "Robocop" to you?
From the Chicago Suntimes:

New police chief: Start foundation to help support department

As the city struggles with a crippling budget crisis, Acting Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy is proposing to set up a police foundation that would raise money from private sources to support the Chicago Police Department.
...

McCarthy was an invited guest at a dinner that also included representatives of the McCormick Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, Chicago Community Trust and the Fry Foundation — as well as Target and ComEd...

Earlier this month, McCarthy was hired from Newark where he was the police director. Before that, he was the head of crime strategy for the New York Police Department, which has been supported by a police foundation since 1971. The New York City Police Foundation bought the city’s officers their first bulletproof vests. Over the years, it has raised more than $100 million for over 400 programs, according to its website.
