Welcome to the Ohio Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) web site. This site is full of information about Ohio's tragic loss of officers. While the events of September 11, 2001 live on in all of our hearts, our survivors here at home continue to live in our hearts as well. We must not forget that the great State of Ohio has over 670 names on our memorial wall, located at the Ohio Peace Officer's Training Academy in London, Ohio.

Click here Ohio COPS Line of Duty Death Manual Now Online This book has been put together to help Ohio's police agencies deal with a line of duty death should it occur in their department. Our intent is to give you a resource that will guide you through the process, and give you resources to help your survivors if you are ever faced with this tragedy. We at Ohio COPS hope this manual will become a resource in every department in the great state of Ohio. And please know that we are here to assist you and your survivors in any way we can. God bless and stay safe out there. Ohio ranks fifth in our nation for the number of officers lost in the line of duty. What has happened in New York is a tragedy on a massive scale, but each survivor here at home has lived through the same type of pain and suffered similar losses as those on our East coast. We need to remember all of our survivors, especially here at home. What Does C.O.P.S. Provide? Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc. provides resources to assist in the rebuilding of the lives of surviving families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty as determined by Federal criteria. Furthermore, C.O.P.S. provides training to law enforcement agencies on survivor victimization issues and educates the public of the need to support the law enforcement profession and its survivors.
