Each year, between 140 and 160 officers are killed nationally in the line of duty and their families and co-workers are left to cope with the tragic loss. The national and local chapters of C.O.P.S. provide resources to help them rebuild their shattered lives. There is no membership fee to join C.O.P.S. - the price paid is already too high.

The Washington DC Chapter of C.O.P.S. began its mission in 1998. C.O.P.S. as an organization DOES NOT solicit money by telephone. If you ever get a call by any organization by that name (which has been happening) it is not the Concerns of Police Survivors on the national or local level

However, aside from our occasional fundraisers (like our fun annual golf tournament), we rely on donations from supportive organizations, businesses and individuals. We are a tax exempt 501(c)(3) charity, Federal tax #9502. All of our board members are volunteers and survivors—parents, spouses, co-workers, and others. Unlike some organizations, we have very low administrative costs since our office space is donated and we receive no salaries.

If you would like to donate, please use the mailing address listed below - any amount would be appreciated. (We will soon have an online option for donations!) You will then receive a thank you letter which will act as a receipt for your donation for your tax purposes. All of us thank you in advance for your generosity. You check can be made out to The Washington DC Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors, but it is also acceptable to make it out to DC-COPS, which is certainly easier!
