If you are a family member or co-worker of a fallen officer we would love to have you get involved with our organization. Our Kentucky Chapter is made up of volunteers and we would love to have a network of volunteers across the state. Please reach out if you are interested or attend our Hero’s Day activity coming up this weekend.
