New England Concerns of Police Survivors
New England COPS Chapter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides peer support to the families and co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty throughout the New England region. For 35 years, our chapter has been dedicated to walking alongside survivors, offering understanding, compassion, and resources during their most difficult times.
Each year, between 140 and 160 officers lose their lives in the line of duty, leaving behind families, friends, and colleagues who must cope with an unimaginable loss. Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) offers critical programs and services to help survivors rebuild their lives and find hope after tragedy. There is no membership fee to join C.O.P.S.—the price of admission has already been paid.
C.O.P.S. was founded in 1984 with just 110 members. Today, it has grown to support more than 51,000 survivors nationwide. With over 50 chapters across the country, including NE COPS, the organization continues to provide grassroots support, ensuring that no survivor has to navigate their grief alone.
Our Mission
Rebuilding the shattered lives of surviving family members and co-workers affected by a line-of-duty death
It is not how these officers died that made them heroes, it is how they lived.
