copsaliveBriefly

When we say law enforcement professionals from around the world we mean anyone working in or around law enforcement — police officers, sheriff’s deputies, corrections officers, detectives, parole officers, probation officers, dispatchers, communications specialists, police supervisors, law enforcement managers, police wives, police mothers, police fathers, police children, police brothers, police sisters, police officer peers, and police officer partners.  This site is designed to share information to help ALL of us in the law enforcement profession.

 

contactSummary

We follow the same mission as CopsAlive.com, which was founded to provide information and strategies to help police officers successfully survive their careers.  We work to help law enforcement officers and their agencies prepare for the risks that threaten their existence.  We hope this information will help you and your agency create the kind of place that supports and protects officers so that they can do their jobs better, safer, longer and survive to tell their grand kids all about it.

Our Bottom Line:

We help law enforcement professionals plan for happy, healthy and successful lives on the job and beyond.
