Police officers and fire fighters face tremendous challenges and risk their lives every day. Wondering about what happens if he or she is injured shouldn’t be a constant worry.
That’s where the Assist the Officer Foundation comes in — providing peace of mind for Dallas’ men and women in blue and their families.
I was shot in September, 2006 while running a search warrant in Narcotics. I knew I was going to be off work for awhile. It worried me quite a bit with the holiday season approaching. Within just a couple of days of returning home from the hospital, I received a check from the Assist the Officer Foundation.. The check gave me peace of mind that I would make it through the injury and through the holidays. After all of the “hoopla” dies down when an officer is injured, the Assist the Officer Foundation doesn’t forget you are there. They continue to help until you get back on your feet, both literally and figuratively. Thanks a lot!
