CEO

Det. Jim Mackay, Ret.

Retired San Diego Police Detective Jim founded the National Law Enforcement Foundation after serving 34 years. Jim could only leave the profession he loved at such a precarious time if he were to help the daily life of current and future officers. No one was willing to be responsible for changing how LE accesses childcare, so Jim decided to be the one and built the NLEF Team. 

Jim worked alongside many joint taskforces with the FBI and DEA. Jim also served on the San Diego Police Officers Association executive board as the Treasurer and Chairman of the association's Foundation, guiding the nonprofit to become one of the country's premier law enforcement association foundations.

Jim also was a founding member of the national coalition, "UCOPS," the United Coalition of Public Safety.

Law Enforcement Liaison 

Det. Angelie Hoxie

Angelie Hoxie was a Detective with the Idaho State Police for 12 years until she recently resigned due to lack of childcare. 

Detective Hoxie primarily focused on child sex crimes and conducted child enticement undercover through internet investigations. She successfully introduced a new caseload to the Treasure Valley, being the only Detective trained by the FBI Child Enticement Taskforce in Idaho. She taught her counterparts and is the epitome of the need for dedicated females in law enforcement. 

Detective Hoxie and her Husband, Sergeant Hoxie, inspired us to take our model nationally. While Detective Hoxie cannot continue her caseload while caring for her young son, she is serving in a new way by helping NLEF customize childcare for all agencies.
