For C.O.P.S. 40th anniversary, we bring together some of voices who have guided C.O.P.S. through the past, into the present and into the future. Join us as Todd Piro from Fox & Friends First interviews C.O.P.S. Co-founder Suzie Sawyer, first National President Lynn Bolton-Bebeau, National President Connie Moyer, and Executive Director Dianne Bernhard about how Concerns of Police Survivors was formed, grew into the organization we know and love today, and where it may go in the next 40 years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) Each year, between 140 and 160 officers die in the line of duty and their families and co-workers are left to cope with the tragic loss. C.O.P.S. provides resources to help them rebuild their shattered lives. There is no membership fee to join C.O.P.S., for the price paid is already too high.
C.O.P.S. was organized in 1984 with 110 individual members. Today C.O.P.S. membership is over 75,000 survivors. Survivors include spouses, children, parents, siblings, significant others, and affected co-workers of officers who have died in the line of duty according to Federal government criteria. C.O.P.S. is governed by a National Board of law enforcement survivors. All programs and services are administered by the National Office in Camdenton, Missouri. C.O.P.S. has over 50 Chapters nationwide that work with survivors at the grass-roots level.
