Our Mission

Our mission is to honor and support law enforcement officers and their families through memorials, resources, and community programs. Serving Those Who Serve™.

Legacy

We built and maintain the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial, commemorating the lives and dedication of law enforcement professionals who have died in the line of duty.

Resources

We provide immediate and ongoing support to families, agencies, and communities after a line-of-duty death. Our database offers free tools, coping strategies, educational materials, and trauma-informed resources.

Education

We share resources to prevent duty-related deaths and support the bereaved. Our training covers traumatic stress, suicide awareness, and grief support.

Advocacy

We advocate for both those who have died or suffered a serious injury in the line of duty and the circle of survivors left behind, from family and friends to the broader community.

Support

We offer compassionate support for families of line-of-duty deaths, including memorial planning, benefits navigation, and peer support. Our Law Enforcement Family Network unites active officers and their families.
