Welcome to the home of Illinois Chapter of Concerns Of Police Survivors, better known as ILCOPS.  If you have any questions, or would like to speak with someone within the organization, please click here for board members contact information.

National C.O.P.S. was organized in 1984 with 110 individual members. Today C.O.P.S. membership is over 15,000 families.  Members include spouses, children, parents, siblings, significant others, and affected co-workers of officers killed in the line of duty according to Federal government criteria.  C.O.P.S. is governed by a National Board of law enforcement survivors.  All programs and services are administered by the National Office in Camdenton, Missouri.

Illinois C.O.P.S. received its charter in April 2005 and is continuing to grow into one of the top C.O.P.S. chapters offering support, assistance and help for all of Illinois Survivors.  For our mission statement, please click here.

Who Am I?

I am the wife, the husband, the soul mate, the parent, the child, the grandparent, the brother, the sister, the in-law, the neighbor, the best friend, the partner, the co-worker, the supervisor.

We are police survivors.

For some our pain is loud, for others silent, but for all our pain is deep.

It hurts to remember the past, the difficulty of today, and the fear of our tomorrows.

Why did this happen to us?

What did we do to be exposed to all this hurt and emotion?

We did nothing wrong!

We just loved and valued our relationship with an officer who died.

Being exposed to this loss does not make me contagious.

By avoiding me and the remembrance of this officer, you inflict secondary injuries that we do not deserve.

 So who am I?

I could be you.
