Why it is important to belong to The Oscar Joel Bryant Foundation

History reveals that hiring, promotions, career opportunities and discipline continue to show a pattern of disparity of treatment towards minority employees. The Foundations goals are to ensure that all members are treated fairly and protected against any form of discrimination in the work place; to assist the members in promotions, career advancement, career survival, financial security after retirement, provide scholarships to the children of the members, and offer all members a pre-paid legal service. The Foundation’s goals do not stop within the Department. OJB continues to establish fellowships with the residential and business community, other law enforcement associations, support local city youth activities and bring awareness between the Department’s African American personnel and the African American community. In order to continue a progressive opposition against discrimination and to foster a better relationship with the community, all members of the Department are invited to join the crusade for fairness and correctness by becoming a member of the Oscar Joel Bryant Foundation. The OJB Foundation has approximately 600 members and continues to grow.
