In addition to the support and friendship we have to officer, we also are very proud of our H.A.L.O.S. (Helping Aid Lost Officers Survivors) condolence program.  Our verified members are "Angels" to the wives of fallen officers - helping them cope with the loss of their officers - something we all fear. 

In 2007 we expanded our HALOS program to include K-9's killed in the line of duty.
