Ohio holds three major events a year. Cincinnati was the destination for a Murder/Mystery dinner bash. This event was audience participation. Not one person in our group was able to identify the culprit. So the morale of this tale…. Don’t expect Ohio survivors to handle unsolved mysteries.

Rebuilding shattered lives of survivors and co-workers affected by line-of-duty deaths.
HANDS-ON PROGRAMS
For more than three decades, C.O.P.S. has provided comprehensive Hands-On Programs that cater to more than 51,000 survivors and their families over 50 chapters nationwide. Whether it is offering grief counseling to participants or providing peer support and additional resources, C.O.P.S.’ objective is to support each survivor in their journey to recovery.
C.O.P.S. knows that in the wake of a line-of-duty death, many lives are affected. Whether you are the spouse or child of an officer, a parent or sibling, an aunt or uncle, cousin, in-law, grandchild, significant other, or even a co-worker, there is an inherent need for a safe space to grieve and to process the feelings and memories surrounding that loved one. Our programs are designed to allow participants to do just that. With twelve Hands-On Programs, C.O.P.S. provides retreats specifically formatted to support the survivors as they learn to cope.

ORGANIZATIONAL PLATES
Ohio Concerns of Police Survivors has had personalized license plates for many years. Previous Chapter Board Members worked hard to get this approved by the legislature which the BMV has available. There is an additional fee over the regular registration that goes to Ohio C.O.P.S. quarterly. This is substantial revenue which goes to fund our first year survivor families to National Police Week as well as sending other survivors to their Hands-On-Programs.
Please consider purchasing these special plates.
