Helping Us to serve our community
Each year, the Imperial County Deputy Sheriffs' Association strives to donate not only monetarily but also through our time and volunteer hours throughout the communities we serve to benefit numerous charities, groups, and national organizations. Please feel free to join our mission by volunteering or making a donation to our association so we can continue our community outreach.
NLEOMF
The mission of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is to generate increased public support for the law enforcement profession by permanently recording and appropriately commemorating the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers, as well as providing information that will help promote law enforcement safety. On average, one law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty somewhere in the United States every 61 hours. Since the first known line-of-duty death in 1791, more than 20,000 U.S. law enforcement officers have made the ultimate sacrifice
CPOMF
The California Peace Officers' Memorial Foundation is a nonprofit charitable foundation whose mission is to recognize and honor California's peace officers who gave their lives in the line of duty serving the citizens of this great state, while providing support to the family members left behind. Each year during the week of May 15, groups gather to honor the memory of their family members. Whether they are surviving spouses grieving a lost partner, children missing a parent, or brothers, sisters, and fellow peace officers, we all commemorate National Police Week as participants in a Peace Officers’ Memorial Service.
The Officer Down Memorial Page
"When a police officer is killed, it's not an agency that loses an officer; it's an entire nation". In 1996, Chris Cosgriff, a James Madison University freshman, read a Washington Post article about the release of a murderer convicted of slaying two Prince George's County police officers. Compelled to find a way to honor fallen officers, he created the Officer Down Memorial Page, Inc. (ODMP).
C.O.P.S. CONCERNS OF POLICE SURVIVORS
Each year, between 140 and 160 officers are killed 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 37,000 survivors. Survivors include spouses, children, parents, siblings, significant others, and affected co-workers of officers killed in the line of duty according to Federal government criteria.
9-99 Foundation
The National 9-99 Police and Sheriff Foundation raises funds for injured or fallen officers and their families, invests in K9 safety and training, and provides counseling and mental health resources to all officers in need.
