Concerns of Police Survivors

Mission

Organized in 1984, Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) provides resources to help rebuild the shattered lives of surviving family members and co-workers of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty as determined by C.O.P.S. criteria. Furthermore, C.O.P.S. provides training to law enforcement agencies on survivor victimization issues and educates the public of the need to support the law enforcement profession and its survivors. C.O.P.S. programs for survivors include the National Police Survivors' Conference, scholarships, peer-support at the national, state, and local levels, COPS Kids counseling reimbursement program, the COPS Kids Summer Camp, COPS Teens Outward Bound, survivor weekends for spouses, parents, siblings, adult children, and extended family, trial and parole support, and other assistance programs.

Vision

C.O.P.S. provides exceptional services to surviving families, co-workers and the community; in the event a line of duty death occurs, the agency notifies the family and then C.O.P.S. for immediate response and lifelong support.

Goals

1.Plan and host a conference that will provide the opportunity for survivors to experience peer support from fellow survivors and emotional support through interactions with mental health professionals.
2.Continue the expansion of our services to include programming, education, and grief support for survivors of law enforcement officers who have died by suicide in accordance to the Public Safety Officer Support Act signed by President Biden in 2022.
3.We are committed to continuing to grow our 9 law enforcement trainings to emphasis the importance of taking care of officers and assisting them in navigating the cumulative stress from their career.
