When an officer gives his or her life in the line of duty, they leave behind children, wives, husbands, significant others, moms, dads, sisters, brothers, coworkers and more, who will bear the tragedy for the rest of their lives. When the officer dies suddenly and tragically, the lives of those they leave behind are shattered into a million pieces.

Concerns of Police Survivors hopes to help rebuild those lives so that the survivors may find a new normal in their lives while honoring the memory of their loved ones.

Our Mission Statement

As the Missouri Chapter of The National Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), The Chapter provides resources to assist in the rebuilding of the lives of surviving families and affected co-workers of Missouri law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. Line of duty deaths are determined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Public Safety Officers’ Benefit (PSOB), National Law Enforcement Officers’ Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) or Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) criteria.

Furthermore, C.O.P.S. 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.
