| Kentucky Concerns Of Police Survivors (KY C.O.P.S) |  |
Being a segment of the National Organization, we share the same mission statement to assist surviving families and affected co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty according to Federal criteria, rebuild their shattered lives. Furthermore, we work to educate law enforcement on survivor victimization issues and educate the public on the need to support law enforcement and it's survivors. We provide grassroots, local support for all survivors of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in Kentucky. We are a non profit, tax exempt 501©(3) organization.

The location will be at the Lexington Police Central Sector Roll Call Building, 1060 Goodwin Drive, Lexington, KY 40505. There will also be a special Board of Directors meeting held on the same day at the same location at 9:30AM. All board members are requested to attend.
