The worst news any law enforcement agency can hear is that an officer has been killed. How does an agency respond to those devastating words, "Officer down"?
Since 1996, Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) has provided highly acclaimed training to help agencies deal with officer death, injury, disability, police suicide, and the after effects of losing a close co-worker. The "Traumas of Law Enforcement" is recommended for Chiefs, Superintendents, Sheriffs, Chaplains, Dispatchers, Benefits Assistance Officers, Planning and Research officers, Employee Assistance employees, Liaison Officers, Special Operations Divisions, Victim Assistance personnel, any law enforcement officer, law enforcement family member, or law enforcement survivor.
While the "Traumas of Law Enforcement" trainings have usually been funded through Federal grants to Concerns of Police Survivors, C.O.P.S. paid the $90,000 cost for these trainings out of their general account in 2008 and raised funds from Streamlight, GLOCK, Harley-Davidson, the 100 Club of Houston, TX, and the Maryland and Indiana Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors for the 2009 trainings. C.O.P.S. is now able to redirect funds from their general account and corporate contributions to other C.O.P.S. programs thanks to a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs of the U.S. Department of Justice. In May 2009, BJA announced a $1.5 million, 20-month grant to C.O.P.S. to fund the "Traumas of Law Enforcement" for 2010 and 2011.
The training is FREE, however, pre-registration is mandatory.

If you're carrying undercover, you need a good belt to comfortably hold your holster in position. At Crossbreed, we're experts in fashioning leather for the sworn professional, and our belts are designed to do the job, while looking good. Our belts are made of 8-9 oz Latigo leather backed by 4-5 oz top grain cowhide. These two leathers are then stitched together using recessed stitching to provide protection to the stitching from surface abrasions.
