Project Blue Light
The idea began in 1989 when Mrs. Dolly Craig wrote to Concerns of Police Survivors that she would be putting two blue candles in her living room window that holiday season. One for her son-in-law, Daniel Gleason, who had been killed in the line of duty while serving with the Philadelphia (PA) Police Department on June 5, 1986, and one for her daughter and Danny’s wife, Pam, who had been killed in an automobile accident in August 1989. Danny and Pam had 6 children. Dolly Craig has passed on, but her idea is her legacy.
C.O.P.S. adopted this idea as a way for everyone to honor the officers who serve and protect us while remembering those who have died in the line of duty. Project Blue Light has grown steadily as a way of remembering our departed law enforcement officers across America.

Washington State Concerns of Police Survivors (WAStateC.O.P.S.) is one of over 50 chapters of Concerns of Police Survivors.
National C.O.P.S. was founded in 1984, with our chapter incorporated in 1996.
C.O.P.S. chapters provide survivors the opportunity to offer and receive support from one another. Chapters fundraise in order to assist survivors to attend their specific weekend retreats, the Survivors conference at National Police Week, Surviving to Thriving conference and other events.
