Hands-On Programs

For more than three decades, C.O.P.S. has provided comprehensive Hands-On Programs that cater to more than 75,000 survivors and their families over 55 chapters nationwide. Whether it is offering grief counseling to participants or providing peer support and additional resources, C.O.P.S.’ objective is to support each survivor in their journey to recovery.


C.O.P.S. knows that in the wake of a line-of-duty death, many lives are affected. Whether you are the spouse or child of an officer, a parent or sibling, an aunt or uncle, cousin, in-law, grandchild, fiancé, significant other, or a co-worker, there is an inherent need for a safe space to grieve and to process the feelings and memories surrounding that loved one. Our programs are designed to allow participants to do just that. With the Hands-On Programs, C.O.P.S. provides retreats specifically formatted to support the survivors as they learn to cope.
