Providing charitable support for families of police officers killed in the line of duty, and grants to law enforcement agencies for protective equipment, training, and memorials. Our Mission Protecting the bond that exists between community and local law enforcement through education, programs, and briefings, while offering charitable support for families of police officers killed in the line of duty, and grants to law enforcement agencies for protective equipment, educational training, and memorials.
