CEO

Det. Jim Mackay, Ret.

Retired San Diego Police Detective Jim founded the National Law Enforcement Foundation after serving 34 years. Jim could only leave the profession he loved at such a precarious time if he were to help the daily life of current and future officers. No one was willing to be responsible for changing how LE accesses childcare, so Jim decided to be the one and built the NLEF Team. 

Jim worked alongside many joint taskforces with the FBI and DEA. Jim also served on the San Diego Police Officers Association executive board as the Treasurer and Chairman of the association's Foundation, guiding the nonprofit to become one of the country's premier law enforcement association foundations.

Jim also was a founding member of the national coalition, "UCOPS," the United Coalition of Public Safety.
