about us

Who We Are

In 2017, we founded Law Enforcement Assistance & Development Foundation, Inc. (LEAD Foundation Inc.) , which supported Law Enforcement and the communities they serve and protect. Building on the success of that foundation, we wanted to broaden the charity to not only serve local Law Enforcement, but to serve all First Responders. As a result, First Responder Operations Support Team, Inc. (FROSTI) was founded in 2024 to support ALL First Responders and the communities they serve.

The First Responder Operations Support Team, Inc. (FROSTI) is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization comprised of volunteers dedicated to providing support to those who serve and protect our local communities by expanding outreach efforts, providing direct infrastructure support and personnel development, and educating the public on their positive impact through education and outreach.
