Immediate Financial Assistance

Upon the death of a peace officer in the line of duty, CPOMF representatives personally deliver financial assistance to the primary survivor to help in their moment of need. Over $1 million in immediate financial assistance has been provided by the CPOMF to date.

Survivor Support Groups

The CPOMF financially supports the California chapters of Concerns of Police Survivors, a peer support group made up of survivors themselves, which provides on-going assistance to the families of our fallen officers. Through our Survivors’ Group Grant Program, over $600,000 has been provided to the three California COPS Chapters.

Scholarship Program

Children and spouses of our honored officers are eligible to receive annual scholarships from the CPOMF. Since 2003 our scholarship program has awarded an average of over 15 scholarships per year, with a grand total of over $1,100,000 paid directly to qualifying students. Visit the Scholarship page for more information.

Annual California Peace Officers’ Memorial Ceremony

Every May preceding National Police Week, the CPOMF underwrites a two-day memorial service honoring California’s fallen heroes.  Thousands of officers, family members, and guests join at the Memorial Monument to pay tribute to California’s fallen heroes who have paid the ultimate price protecting our communities.  The names of officers lost the previous year are added to the monument in a formal ceremony attended by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Chief Justice and other state dignitaries.
