| The Mission Statement of Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc.
(COPS) reflects the strong belief that assistance, guidance,
understanding, compassion, empathy, and hope for the future for
the survivors of law enforcement officers killed in the line of
duty begins with a caring, prepared agency. While no person and
no agency can be fully prepared for the trauma a
law enforcement death inflicts, there are many things an agency
can do to prepare for this possibility that will lessen chaos
that follows an officer death. Therefore, COPS offers various
programs and services for law enforcement survivors, as well as
training, reference materials, and guidance for agencies.
COPS also believes that a law enforcement death affects not
only the surviving family and the agency, but the community as
well. COPS has three active public awareness campaigns to call
attention to the risks involved in the law enforcement profession
and the sacrifices made by law enforcement personnel nationwide.
