A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORThe mission of the New England Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors is to provide ongoing peer support to the survivors whose loved ones are tragically killed inthe line of duty. N.E.C.O.P.S has partnered with my current employer, The NewEngland State Police Information Network (NESPIN) in educating and emphasizingthe importance of being properly prepared for a Line of Duty Death incident(LODD).
NESPIN has co-sponsored several training seminars this past year on this very topicwhere many Police Chiefs, Agency heads, and police officers of all ranks havelearned a tremendous amount of information about LODD benefits, LODD policiesand how a death of an officer can create shock, cause stress and overwhelming sadness to not only the officer’s family but to the officer’s department as well.
Beyond supporting me as I travel throughout Eastern Massachusetts educating police officers about thistremendously important issue, NESPIN has also dedicated resources to make our N.E C.O.P.S. website(newenglandcops.org) as well as a model Line of Duty Death policy available on their webpage so that allof their member agencies and Police Chiefs never feel alone in navigating the fallout from a Line of DutyDeath incident.
It is our intent to continue to educate all in Law enforcement about LODD policies, death benefits, andbest practices on how to handle such a tragic event. I look forward in continuing to work with NESPIN onthis very important topic as are all of our Executive Board members and Advisory board. I wish you all asafe and successful year in 2018.
Respectfully,
