The Washington DC Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors (DC-COPS) provides resources to assist in the rebuilding of the lives of surviving families and affected co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, as determined by Federal government criteria. Furthermore, COPS 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. We survive solely on donations of citizens and businesses and are always looking for community support. All of our board members are survivors who are volunteers for the organization. DC-COPS is a nonprofit organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by law. Read our latest news!
