“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Fund, and Bobby for their quick response, their support and thoughts with me and my family. It is truly a blessing to have caring brothers and sisters in a Union that cares. Again Thank You, and God Bless each and everyone of you."

Law Enforcement Officers put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe, run into danger while the rest of us run from it, and come to our aid each and every time we call for their assistance. They do so selflessly to protect us and our communities. The Law Enforcement Officers Relief Fund (LEORF) provides immediate assistance to Law Enforcement Officers or their immediate surviving family member. The funds are to provide some assistance in transition of long-term recovery not to make them whole.
Your local law enforcement officers face disasters every day and are the first on the scene to protect and save lives – often while risking their own. The Police and Troopers Relief Foundation (PTRF) is a special program within the Law Enforcement Officers Relief Fund (LEORF), established by the International Union of Police Associations. The PTRF/LEORF was created to provide specialized relief when, tragically, a law enforcement officer is killed in the line-of-duty or critically injured in the line-of-duty, and when a law enforcement officer is faced with the horrible impact of a natural disaster.
