The Virginia chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) is a state-level nonprofit that supports surviving family members and coworkers of law enforcement officers killed or catastrophically injured in the line of duty. The chapter provides peer support, crisis intervention, grief counseling, survivor outreach, remembrance events, and scholarships, and works to promote officer wellness and community recognition of line-of-duty sacrifices in Virginia.
Typically supports legislative and administrative measures that strengthen line-of-duty death benefits and survivor pensions, expand access to grief and mental health services for survivors and first responders, fund memorials and survivor scholarships, improve officer safety and wellness programs, and bolster victim and family support services.
Primarily funded through private donations, membership contributions, memorial and fundraising events, community fundraising, corporate sponsorships, and grants.
