About the
Maryland Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors
The Maryland Chapter of Concerns of
Police Survivors is a sub-chapter of the national organization Concerns
of Police Survivors, also known as COPS. The
purpose of the Maryland Chapter of COPS is to provide peer support to
law enforcement survivors by forming bereavement/growth groups where
survivors can offer and receive emotional support, to aid survivors in
understanding the judicial process, and to provide information about
appropriate services which may exist within the local community.
The Maryland Chapter of COPS has many programs and services for
survivors which include National Police Survivors' Seminars held each
May during National Police Week, scholarships, peer support, counseling
programs, trial and
parole support, death
benefit information and other assistance programs. Any family member
(wife, husband, son, daughter, parents, and siblings) of a law
enforcement officer killed in the line of duty is eligible to use the
services provided by the Maryland Chapter of COPS. Significant others,
fiancés, other family members and co-workers are also recognized as
survivors.
This site also honors those heroes
who have given their lives to defend this great state.
The Maryland Chapter of COPS is a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Programs and services are funded by grants and
donations.
