2026 Cruise Fundraiser
DC-COPS provides resources to assist in the rebuilding of the lives of surviving families and co-workers of law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty, as determined by Federal government criteria. Join our DC-COPS raffle for a chance to win big while supporting our mission too! Each donation is a chance to win an interior cabin for two on Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas on July 20, 2026 for a 4-night cruise out of Port Canaveral, FL. Each donation directly contributes to our efforts in making a meaningful impact to our survivors.
National Police Week
In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week, when we pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of our fallen law enforcement officers. National Police Week is a collaborative effort of various organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement and supporting their survivors.
