National Counseling Programs

Each May during National Police Week activities in Washington, DC, C.O.P.S. hosts the National Police Survivors' Conference.  Law enforcement survivors from all across the nation gather for in-depth grief work and issue-oriented information sharing.

Break-out seminar sessions are offered so that survivors with like concerns and issues can work together, finding solutions to their common problems.  Special sessions are offered for surviving co-workers, significant others, fiancés, and extended family members as well.  Children under the age of 18 can participate in the "C.O.P.S. Kids/Teens" Program.

Examples of sessions include:

Organizing a C.O.P.S. Chapter and Keeping it Healthy
