Concerns of Police Survivors

“The purpose of the Northern California Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors is to help the family members and co-workers of officers killed in the line of duty move forward and help them rebuild their shattered lives. Under the guidance of our national organization this is what we, as a chapter, do every fiscal year: - We pay the travel and if necessary, hotel accommodations for our survivors to attend the Hands-on Programs put on by National C.O.P.S. - We put on a Christmas Party complete with presents for each child in attendance and a visit from Santa - We put on a Summer Picnic with raffle prizes at a water park with a private area for us. - When there is a line of duty death we respond to both the affected agency and the family residence when possible - During the funeral we ensure that all survivors from prior years are sitting together for support and are provided water, tissue and small snacks sometimes the funerals are very long. - Each year we attend and help current year survivors at the California Memorial - Each year during National Police Week we send and accompany current survivors whose officers are being added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial and assist them throughout the week. Without our help, these family and co-worker survivors would not be able to honor their heroes at the National Memorial. - We hold a new survivor meeting in February for all attending National Police Week and the California Memorial. Informational binders are given to each. All of these events are done yearly by the board members of NorCal C.O.P.S. all volunteers and survivors themselves. We have no paid employees. In a dual effort to raise money and offer an evening of appreciation for law enforcement, we put on the Black and Blue Ball. It is a black-tie event held at the Hyatt Regency in Sacramento across from the Capital and steps away from the California Peace Officers Memorial. This is an expensive event to put on and sells all 800+ seats within 30 minutes each year.”
