SURVIVOR NETWORK is a private corner of the Internet where survivors can find words of hope and gentle advice from kindred spirits.

We put the wisdom and support of prominent police chaplains, medical doctors and survivors at the fingertips of the grief-stricken, especially during the troubling days (and long nights) that follow a line-of-duty death.

Accessible around the clock, SURVIVOR NETWORK is a tool for filling the silence that can often surround grief, providing words of comfort and support, particularly during those hours when support may not be available.

I encourage you to integrate these programs and the wisdom they provide into your department’s training. I am confident that in doing so you will not only mitigate the impact of a line of duty death, you will also improve your department’s ability to respond to a whole range of other crisis situations.
