Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Often the public can be misinformed or have misconceptions about policing, so we seek to educate the public about the many risks and threats to law enforcement personnel in order to build a more informed, respectful, and appreciative society.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Education
We seek to educate and inform the public about the many risks and threats to law enforcement personnel in order to build a more informed, respectful, and appreciative society by publicizing the many challenges and dangers faced by our nation's law enforcement officers in the media and through direct mail campaigns, our website, social media, and by other means. We also raise awareness of the risks to the livelihood, health, and safety of our nation's law enforcement officers and provide support and appropriate recognition for their many sacrifices.
Case Defense
We support and defend the law enforcement profession and those law enforcement officers who have devoted their lives to upholding the constitution and serving the defense of wrongfully accused/charged law enforcement officers by providing funds for defense counsel, court and subsistence costs, and expert witnesses.
Association Collaboration
We support activities of law enforcement professional association, fraternal organizations, and related groups. We also provide recognition to exceptional private citizens who defend and protect law enforcement officers engaged in official actions.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We try to accomplish the defense of individual, wrongly accused police officers who must make difficult use of force decisions within seconds and the defense of the law enforcement profession when it faces charges and allegations by a misinformed public, by cynical elected officials, and by biased reporting by some in the media.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our strategies include fundraising efforts to support individual police officers who deserve a vigorous defense, public engagement through and with the media to better inform of the challenges facing police in America, and through engagement with a broad array of groups and associations that support components of law enforcement.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our capabilities are finite and quite dependent on our ability to engage private citizens, corporations, foundations and other groups to contribute financially. We have very limited personnel but we leverage our knowledge, experience, and networks to maximize impacts.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We cannot be everywhere, in every market and studio responding to anti-police comments individually. We are based outside Washington, DC so we must depend on local outlets and media to allow us to spread our message more broadly. We will expand responsibly and work to have the maximum impact for a small non-profit.
