Our Mission

We believe that being a law enforcement officer is the hardest job on the planet  and is the thin blue line that separates the wolves from the sheep with many challenges and  risks. It is our vision to try to assist in making things a little better where we can.  

We offer support in 4 categories

Training

We put together trainings such as DT or host classes like ILEE.  

We've either taught or organized: 

- Intro to Grappling

- DT with Pgh FBI DT instructors

- Knife defense

- ILEE High Risk Traffic Stop classes

- MPOETC required DT classes. 

-  Hosted Monadnock Baton training 

We also support and promote other organizations when they are offering training

Donations

We have been able to

- Donate dog food to K-9 officers having budgetary issues

- Training pads for conducting DT classes

Equipment

-  Spotlight for patrol car  

Soft support

Soft support is aimed more at the officers directly or not easily categorizable.

We have been able to:

- provide over 50 copies of the book Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement.

- buy lunch for officers attending training 

- assisted with getting the Boro and Township Police Association website back up

- provide training gloves, knives and red gun for officers attending DT classes

-  assisted with research and provided information on Incident Reporting Software for dept who software was about to expire.

- researched some Critical Incident Training ( mental health crisis ) in the Pgh area for depts to engage with. 

Other initiatives


For Cops, By Cops
We created the initative of For Cops By Cops where officers with street experience would be given a platform to informally teach on subjects they're knowledgeable about.

LE Training Facebook group 

We've created a closed, Facebook group dedicated to training activities in the southwestern PA area. Many times information doesn't always filter down to the officers so this is one method to help spread the word of training events.
