Please let Illinois C.O.P.S. know if you have an important life event so that we as a chapter can recognize your accomplishments or sorrows… The Sunshine Committee would like to send cards/flowers/gift to members experiencing significant life events. We would like to send a small birthday gift to our Fallen Officer's children. Examples include: Birthday, Anniversaries, Births, Graduations from High School or College, Sickness/Accidents, Family Members Deaths, and Trials/Court Dates. Please contact Carla so you may be properly recognized.

In 2005 the Cycle Across Illinois was established to honor and remember the fallen police officers in Illinois. The ride travels from south to north over four days on the third weekend of July (Thursday-Wednesday). The ride also raises awareness of the Illinois Concerns Of Police Survivors and has become the largest single charity event for the chapter. The ride participants are surviving family members, loved ones and co-workers of fallen officers as well are active and retired police officers. This ride has become an annual journey for all our riders and support members.
