As law enforcement survivors, we go through a unique kind of grieving process. It was this very unique experience of being a Los Angeles Police Officers spouse that inspired these members to form a support group of SURVIVORS!

The Los Angeles Police Department realized the need for a support group comprised of law enforcement survivors with one main thing in common… GRIEF. Despite their varying backgrounds, the members of the Family Support Group transcend differences to support one another through the grieving process.
