Law Enforcement Family Support

The National Fallen Officer Foundation is a 501(c)3 police-support organization designed to assist the families of law enforcement officers killed in the line-of-duty nationwide. The Foundation's strategic mission is to: raise awareness about threats to officer safety; provide law enforcement advocacy; and provide assistance to police families.

The National Fallen Officer Foundation also provides education and support programs that encourage law enforcement and community engagement. The Foundation operates in an "exclusive" space considering that its services are offered free of charge. There are no membership requirements associated with receiving a benefit nor are there any restrictions placed on donations made to families.

The National Fallen Officer Foundation's executive board is composed of experienced law enforcement officials from across the United States. Our board members are uniquely qualified and understand the issues impacting the current state of law enforcement in America.
