Programs for Survivors

C.O.P.S.
C.O.P.S. provides Hands-On Programs designed specifically for each survivorship to help rebuild their shattered lives. These programs allow survivors to receive support from peers who know how they feel, attend seminar sessions specifically designed for their needs and obtain resources to help them on their journey of grief and coping. Our programs are held in a relaxed setting that is removed from the stressors of everyday life and are free for survivors to attend. The only cost to the survivors is their travel to and from the program. 

Adult Children’s Retreat is planned for surviving adult children and their spouse/domestic partner, ages 21 and over.
Kids Camp is planned for surviving children ages 6-14 and their parent/guardian.
Young Adults Camp is planned for surviving children and siblings ages 15-20. 
Fiancés/Significant Others Retreat is planned for surviving Fiancés, Significant Others and Life Partners of the fallen officer.
Siblings Retreat planned for surviving siblings and their spouse/domestic partner, ages 21 and over.
Spouses Getaway is planned for the surviving spouse of the fallen officer.
Co-Workers Retreat is planned for surviving co-workers, active or retired.
