National Concerns of Police Survivors
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 exist so survivors can offer and receive support from one another. Chapters fundraise in order to financially assist survivors to attend their retreats and the Survivors conference at National Police Week.
