Deductions & credits

No. The police department is a government organization rather than a charity.

 

Charitable contributions to qualified organizations may be deductible if you itemize deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040), Itemized Deductions. To see if the organization you have contributed to qualifies as a charitable organization for income tax deductions, use Tax Exempt Organization Search.
