The NEW Law Enforcement Family Helpline Has Launched!

The How 2 Love Our Cops' Peer Support Team began in late 2020, after witnessing a great need for family members to talk through the difficulties they faced that year and moving forward. Since then we have brought in excellent trainers from Warrior's Rest Foundation to teach the CISM models for individuals and groups to our volunteer staff at How 2 Love Our Cops. Our certified team of volunteers are all spouses or family members of Law Enforcement or First Responders. They truly understand this career and the challenges that come along with sharing our loved ones with the public as they put their lives on the line every day.
And now, the next step in providing help for our families is here! In partnership with Cordico, families now have access to trained family member peers through our national (non-emergency) helpline.
Learn more or reach out our Peer Support Team here.

How 2 Love Our Cops: The Hookup, Thursday, January 29, Loomis CA
We serve active duty and retired law enforcement families, including those wounded in the line of duty.
Who We Are and What We Do
We create resources, events, and programs that educate, encourage, and equip law enforcement families to love and support their officers. We do this by building into homes proactively and meeting families in times of crisis and recovery. This kind of support fosters positivity in the lives of officers and their loved ones, setting a healthy foundation that helps them thrive—both on and off duty.
The Challenge Our Officers Face
Today, with so much opposition toward law enforcement, the job is tougher than ever. Many officers are struggling beneath the weight of what this profession demands.
While the typical American may experience three overwhelming incidents in a lifetime, the average officer faces more than 200 throughout their career. The cumulative impact of these experiences affects the mental, physical, and spiritual health of officers—whether they realize it or not.
Why Families Matter
We believe the family is the critical key to keeping our cops healthy. We’ve seen it firsthand in the lives of our volunteers and those we’ve walked alongside. Educated and supported families remain a vital part of keeping the thin blue line strong—for such a time as this.
Our Approach and Partnerships
We are continually learning, listening to experts, and hearing the hearts of law enforcement families across the United States, Canada, and beyond. When we don’t have the expertise, we partner with others to bring the very best resources possible. Our conferences, books, blogs, seminars, trainings, and even fundraisers are all designed to educate, encourage, and bring positive perspective.
Our Ongoing Commitment
Ultimately, our goal is to keep growing and learning so we can continue to provide the most effective, meaningful resources for you and your family.
How2LoveOurCops is a 501(c)(3) organization that is dedicated to the relational, emotional and spiritual wellness of law enforcement families.
