In 1984 C.O.P.S was organized with 110 members and now they have over 15,000 families as members. Members include spouses, children, parents, siblings, significant others, and affected co-workers of officers killed in the line of duty according to Federal government criteria. The membership is broad based so that they can help as many survivors as possible. With an estimated 140 to 160 officers killed in the line of duty every year the services that C.O.P.S offer has an outstanding impact on the lives of survivors.
