Kansas Concerns of Police Survivors

Kansas Concerns of Police Survivors (Kansas C.O.P.S.) is a not-for-profit organization. On March 17, 2001 an organizational meeting was held in Salina, Kansas to discuss formation of a Kansas Chapter. On that day, it was decided and approved with a unanimous vote of the attendees to start a Kansas Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors. Our C.O.P.S. charter plaque was presented at National Police Week in May 2001. Kansas C.O.P.S. serves all 105 counties in Kansas and is one of 55 chapters of the national organization Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.).

Our membership is more than 350 strong and each time we lose an officer in one of our 105 counties, we gain more members. There is no membership fee to join Kansas C.O.P.S. Each and member has already paid the ultimate price -- the loss of a family member, colleague or friend to a line-of-duty death in law enforcement in the state of Kansas. The heroism and bravery of those officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice must never be forgotten; therefore, we are committed to see that their memory and acts of bravery live forever.
