Programs: Death bene ts to fallen offi cers killed in the line of duty: The loss of a loved one is always di fficult; however, when that loss is due to a work related accident or a death as a result of a crime, it can be especially diffi cult for the families and children of the fallen o cer. As with most life insurance policies, it can take months for the families to receive. The Valor Foundations goal to ensure that these families are financially supported within days of a loss. In 2016, Kansas experienced a tremendous loss when three of our own were killed. It is only because the generous donations from our community supporters that we were able to provide financially for the families. Peer/Family Support Services: We believe that it is our duty to provide support and resources to the familiesand children of our Kansas Law Enforcement. These services include: • Regional response teams to help respond to families and children in crisis—death, suicide, depression, and work related stressors • Financial support to off -set medical expenses related to PTSD, death, and serious injury • Peer/Family statewide support services, educational training, and counseling Scholarships to further professional development: As today’s policing becomes more challenging and the ability for our communities to pay for those resources limited—the Valor Foundation can provide funding to train and equip our law enforcement members to better serve their communities. Valor Awards: Each day, thousands of men and women across Kansas stand watch over our communities. The Valor Foundation board wants to recognize those who go above and beyond the call of duty. Many of the previous recipients have saved children, rescued kidnapping victims, and even lost their own lives. Once a year, we have the honor of recognizing these men and women and thanking them and their families for their dedication.
