Police Officers are a very giving and charitable group. I have never visited a police or sheriff’s department where the staff and officers or deputies weren’t involved in many charities within their communities. Many cops and corrections officers donate their time and money to help children, animals, families in need, our schools, and churches etc. I expect that if you can find a charity, then you can find some cops involved to help them.
At this time of year everyone has these things on their minds but cops do these things year round. We at CopsAlive want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, or best wishes on any holiday that you celebrate and we want to wish you all a very safe, happy and healthy New Year. Thanks for all the great things you do all year long!
About Editor
John Marx was a Police Officer for twenty-three years and served as a Hostage Negotiator for nineteen of those years. He worked as a patrol officer, media liaison officer, crime prevention officer and burglary detective. Also during his career he served as administrator of his city's Community Oriented Governance initiative through the police department's Community Policing project. Today John combines his skills to consult with businesses about improving both their security and their customer service programs. John retired from law enforcement in 2002. When one of his friends, also a former police officer, committed suicide at age 38, John was devastated and began researching the problems that stress creates for police officers. He decided he needed to do something to help change those problems and he wanted to give something back to the profession that gave him so much. He started a project that has evolved into CopsAlive.com. Put simply, the mission of CopsAlive is to save the lives of those who save lives! CopsAlive.com gathers information, strategies and tools to help law enforcement professionals plan for happy, healthy and successful careers, relationships and lives.
Too whom it may concern: My family and I have a friend who is a disabled police officer. He became disabled due to injuries that he received in the line of duty. And even though he was a police officer for almost 13 years and he was injured preventing a fellow officer from being hit by a car, the thanks that he received from his department was to be called in and fired. This man has under gone numerous operations and has even had a Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant placed in him to help him cope with the pain he lives with each day. And while he told my husband that sometimes he feels that he would have been better off that day if he had died. He still refuses to give so far. He is currently trying to get his Social Security Disability started and he keeps as we do that the City of Savannah Georgia and Chatham County will change his firing to the medical retirement he deserves. We are also attempting to locate a grant that will pay for him to take a paralegal course through Blackstone Paralegal School, this way it will provide him with a way to keep his mind on something other than his situation. Is there any place that you know of that may help him? I can provide you with his name and address if you want it.
With Regards,
Julie
