Wives Behind the Badge Voice for the Law Enforcement Community
Wives Behind the Badge is an all-volunteer national non-profit organization providing much needed resources, emotional support and essential benefits to law enforcement families and agencies and serves in a positive manner as a voice for the law enforcement community, directly impacting public safety in the community.
Program Highlights are as follows:
Online Newsletter
Scholarships - Scholarships to children of active and retired law enforcement officers, as well as children of officers killed in the line of duty. We also plan to offer scholarships to the widows of fallen officers who now find it necessary to return to school and will enable them to financially take care of their families.
Disaster Relief and Medical Support
- Financial support to police families during times of disaster such as hurricanes, tornadoes, fires and many other disasters, as well as financial hardship due to medical crisis.
Support for Police Agencies
- Financial and in-kind support to police agencies through our "Adopt-an-Agency" program which will provide much needed equipment, supplies and training.
- Outreach to police academies providing them valuable resources for the wives of academy members and their families.
Resources for Police Families - Online resource listing
- Workshops and Conferences
Online Support Forum
Our online support forum is available to all wives, fiance's and girlfriends of a police officer, for friendship, support, and most of all fun! The support forum staff and members are a big family...a sisterhood and we are dedicated to helping one another face the daily struggles of being in a law enforcement relationship. Membership is always free. Our support forums are operated and maintained by the generous donations of our members!
H.A.L.O.S (Helping Aid Lost Officers) Condolence Program In addition to the support and friendship we have to offer, we also are very proud of our H.A.L.O.S. (Helping Aid Lost Officers Survivors) condolence program. Our verified members are "Angels" to the wives of fallen officers - helping them cope with the loss of their officers - something we all fear. In 2007 we expanded our HALOS program to include K-9's killed in the line of duty.
