A Message from the Correctional Peace Officers Foundation

Every act of giving starts with one small choice,  the decision to make a difference. For the members of the Correctional Peace Officers Foundation (CPOF), that choice transforms into something extraordinary: hope for a family facing tragedy, relief for an officer in crisis, and strength for a community that stands together in support.

Each payroll deduction, campaign pledge, or direct membership represents more than a contribution. It’s a lifeline. It allows the Foundation to respond within days when a correctional professional is injured, loses a loved one, or faces a catastrophic event. Behind every assistance check, every call, and every visit is the steady heartbeat of our members — thousands of correctional employees, family members, and supporters who believe in Taking Care of Our Own.

Your membership ensures that no one stands alone in their hardest moments. It supports:

• The Catastrophic Assistance Program provides immediate aid to correctional staff and families in crisis.

• The National Memorial and PROJECT 2000, honoring fallen officers and their families.

• Scholarships and outreach, empowering the next generation, and supporting correctional families nationwide.

These programs are possible because of you — the dedicated men and women who give not only through service, but through compassion. Whether you’ve been a member for twenty years or just joined last month, your support sustains the very mission that defines who we are.

As we look ahead to another year of service, we invite you to share what membership means to you.

Tag us on Instagram and Facebook (@CPOFoundation) and use #CPOF #TakingCareOfOurOwn #CPOFMembers to show how you or your team represent the spirit of CPOF. Together, we are stronger, proof that small acts can have a big impact.
