The San Diego Enforcers began in 1999 as an offshoot from the now defunct San Diego Posse. During their first season, the Enforcers went 5-0 in league play and secured their first NPSFL Western Division Championship. Due to financial difficulties, the Enforcers did not compete from 2001 -2006. In 2006, the team was resurrected by Enforcers Ring of Honor members Jason Sullivan and Greg Ellis. The team returned with a new red and black theme and was built into one of the most respected organizations in the NPSFL. Between 2006 and 2010, the San Diego Enforcers raised over $50,000 for various charities including: Susan G Komen for the Cure and the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. The Enforcers also won their second Western Division Championship in 2009. San Diego sets it's sights on 2016 with even bigger goals. With several new faces and a strong force of returning veterans, the Enforcers are prepped for a strong season and remain focused on the three pillars which the organization is founded on: Charity, Family and winning football games!

Shop with a Cop benefits needy or neglected children from across San Diego County at our annual event held in early December. Each year, "Shop with a Cop" provides a joyful shopping experience for underprivileged children who, without this event, may not experience one. The participating children are identified by schools, churches and social services agencies. On the day of the event, uniformed officers from various local, state and federal agencies volunteer their time to be with the children at SeaWorld for breakfast and a show. From SeaWorld, the children participate in a law enforcement procession and head to Target for a morning of shopping with their law enforcement partner. Each child is provided with a $150 Target gift card to spend on themselves and their family. As this event is fully funded by grants and donations, we strive to raise $50,000 each year so that we may accommodate at least 300 children. With the generous support of our sponsors, and donations from the San Diego community, each year we have been able to provide 300+ children with this wonderful gift. This program was designed to benefit underprivileged children between the ages of five and twelve years old. The purpose of this event is to provide a happier season to these children and to have the children interact with law enforcement officers in a positive setting. The 2013 "20th anniversary" event was hosted by the San Diego Probation Department and the San Diego District Attorney's Office, Bureau of Investigations.
