Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Throughout my entire career in law enforcement I always felt like there was something missing when it came to support for law enforcement in Georgia. There are many different national organizations officers can join, but they all offer very specific benefits. So, in order to receive all of these benefits, you have to be a paying member to several different organizations. I wanted to find a fix for this, so I began speaking with several different community leaders including Sheriffs, Chiefs, Mayors, County Commissioners, Philanthropic Leaders, and actual officers to see what the best solution would be for this. The overwhelming response was that it should be a statewide nonprofit organization that focused on Georgia Law Enforcement and offered every service that all of the other national organizations had to offer, but under one umbrella and only one membership fee.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Fundraising for Injured/Fallen Police Officers
This is a coordinated effort through various community outreach resources to initiate and operate fundraisers and events to supplement an officer's income in the event that they are out of work for an extended period of time due to injury or illness, or killed in the line of duty. This gives their family the ability to recover in times of need.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The Georgia Law Enforcement Organization's mission is to provide overall support to Georgia's Law Enforcement Officers in their professional, and personal lives, through various benefits and community outreach resources.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our strategy is to simply narrow down our focus to officers only in the state of Georgia to reduce the effects of being spread too thin on a national platform. We believe this allows us to better serve the officers in this state in a much more meaningful and supportive way.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our organization primarily focuses on officer's whom have been killed in the line of duty, and officers who are sick/injured and out of work. We work with their families to provide financial and emotional support to get through those difficult times. To do this, we utilize our social media outlets, which have a monthly audience of 21,000,000 people, and we coordinate fundraisers and events for those families.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
In 2019, our first full year of operation, we coordinated 4 fundraisers for families who lost an officer and delivered 100% of the proceeds to those families. We have also boosted our social media reach from 4,000,000 people in January to 21,000,000 people in December, and developed our website to create interactive content that will bring more traffic to the page.
