If you are planning on visiting Washington for Police Week this year, please consider giving a few hours of your time to volunteer at the survivor host hotels. Concerns of Police Survivors, the national organizaton responsible for directly assisting survivors of fallen officers, is in desperate need for volunteers throughout the week to assist survivors. There is no more meaningful way to remember our fallen brothers and sisters than by being there for their survivors during the week.
Any amount of time you can volunteer will be greatly appreciated. If you are able to volunteer, please contact John Kalaman by e-mail at glcops33@sbcglobal.net.
