Family Fund for Paralyzed & Disabled Police Officers

Purpose:
The FBI lists in its Annual Crime Report, that about 189 police officers are assaulted in the line of duty each day. Most of these officers are forgotten about or never recognized by their department in the first place. The law enforcement officers in the United States who were injured or disabled in the line of duty have been “hidden” from public view.

This has been a sad part of the history of the 18,000 municipal police departments; 3100 county sheriffs and the 1,900 state and federal agencies in America.

The purpose of the Family Fund for Paralyzed and Disabled Officers is:

RECOGNITION
We provide recognition to these officers by awarding them the Police Purple Heart Medal and Certificate acknowledging the sacrifice they made in the line of duty. Continued recognition is achieved through support and assistance.

ASSISTANCE
Helping officers help themselves:
The officers are assisted in regaining productive lives through either college or vocational scholarships or with financial assistance for medical expenses incurred by their injuries.

SUPPORT
Children of these officers are supported with programs such as college scholarships, summer camp grants as well as Christmas & birthday gifts. Parents and spouses feel support through the Mother’s and Father’s Day program. To download a summer camp application, clickHERE
