Our Mission
Mission First Foundation is a nonprofit organization built to support law enforcement and public safety professionals through training, equipment, and care.
We exist because many agencies face real limitations — limited budgets, limited training time, outdated equipment, and increasing demands on their people. Our goal is to help fill those needs in a way that creates real-world impact.
Founded From Experience
Mission First Foundation was founded by Christian DeVinney, a retired law enforcement sergeant and tactical leader with 25 years of service.
Throughout his career, Christian served in high-risk operational and leadership roles, including firearms instruction, SWAT leadership, and multi-jurisdictional training development. His experience spans patrol operations, tactical response, instructor development, and mission-critical decision-making.
Mission First Foundation was created from firsthand experience with the challenges officers and instructors face when trying to maintain readiness with limited resources. The Foundation exists to help bridge that gap and ensure professionals have access to the training, equipment, and support required to perform at a high level.
