New England Concerns of Police Survivors
NE COPS is a 501c non-profit organization that provides peer support to the families of Law Enforcement Officers killed in the line of duty in the New England area.
Each year, between 140 and 160 officers are killed in the line of duty and their families and co-workers are left to cope with the tragic loss. Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) provides resources to help them rebuild their shattered lives. There is no membership fee to join C.O.P.S., for the price paid is already too high.
C.O.P.S. was organized in 1984 with 110 members. Today the organization has grown to over 51,000 survivors. The organization was started to assist family members and co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. Currently C.O.P.S. has over 50 chapters nationwide that work with survivors at the grass roots level.
Our Mission
Rebuilding shattered lives of survivors and co-workers affected by line of duty deaths, through partnerships with law enforcement and the community.
It is not how these officers died that made them heroes, it is how they lived.
