Every day, peace officers risk their lives to serve and protect our communities. It is an unfortunate reality that our officers face challenges and risks with the potential for injury on a daily basis. When such an injury occurs, it can often times be financially catastrophic. During their time of recovery, the last thing an officer should have to worry about is how he or she will make ends meet while recuperating.
Founded in 1991, Assist the Officer is dedicated to assisting law enforcement officers in the Greater Houston area (those in Harris, Ft. Bend, Brazoria, Galveston, and Montgomery counties). We raise funds through corporate contributions and sponsorships, public donations through our membership program, Bequeathing, and through fundraising efforts.
