Cops 4 Causes in association with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD), has partnered to create a holistic program to support the families of Law Enforcement Officers killed in the line of Duty. This initiative was begun in response to Cops 4 Causes Honorary Board Chairman, Sheriff Lee Baca’s desire to assist the families of fallen heroes who suffer emotionally and financially over time as a result of an in the line of duty death. Although we pride ourselves that law enforcement is family, and as such, we are always the most generous people when member of our family are in need. Unfortunately, there are times when some of our families fall through the cracks. Cops 4 Causes is committed to ensure that the sacrifice our brothers and sisters have paid is not forgotten and that our law enforcement family honors them by protecting what matters most- their families.
In addition to launching the largest grass-roots fund raising endeavor undertaken by the LASD family, Cops 4 Causes has created a network of support systems for families that will focus on:
• Long-term financial planning:
o After the death of a Law Enforcement Officer, Cops 4 Causes will provide a financial consultation (free of charge) to the families of our fallen brothers and sister that will assist them in accounting and developing a long-term financial strategy for the family.
• Counseling Services:
o For members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Family, Employee Support Services offers counseling services to the family members our fallen brother and sisters leave behind.
• Ongoing Support:
o Our collective goal for the family is a sustainable emotional and financial recovery.
In order to assist our Law Enforcement families of fallen heroes in the future, Sheriff Lee Baca is encouraging every member of the LASD family to make a tax-deductible donation of just $10.
