Fellow American,

Four law enforcement officers were killed in three states on two days recently, and the National Fallen Officer Foundation is struggling to continue to provide direct support.

Line of duty deaths are up 27% over last year and are the highest on record, and ambush attacks are up 103% over last year.

The men and women who keep our communities safe are under attack!

The National Fallen Officer Foundation provides direct support to the families of fallen officers, but we are struggling to keep up as attacks on law enforcement escalate. If you Back the Blue, please make your immediate donation of $25, $50, $100, $250, or even $500 toward our mission today.

The most recent deaths are heartbreaking.

Alamo (Georgia) Police Officer Dylan Harrison was gunned down on his first shift with the department, ambushed by a violent criminal in retaliation for the officer's arrest of an associate hours earlier.

Just three states over, Louisiana Trooper Adam Gaubert was ambushed and killed as a suspect embarked on a multi-parish (county) crime spree, shooting five victims and claiming the lives of Master Trooper Gaubert and an innocent woman. The victim was apprehended, but Trooper Gaubert wasn’t found until 12 hours after he was murdered in his patrol vehicle.

La Paz (Arizona) Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Rudd died while in pursuit of a suspect in the early hours of Monday morning on I-10 near the California border. Sgt. Rudd was an 8-year veteran of the La Paz County Sheriff’s Department and the first deputy killed in the line of duty since the department was established in 1983.

Maricopa County (Arizona) Sheriff’s Deputy Juan Ruiz died after being beaten by a suspect he had taken into custody. Deputy Ruiz remained unconscious and on life support for two days before succumbing to his injuries.

These tragic attacks are becoming all too common, and the National Fallen Officer Foundation is doing everything we can to raise awareness and provide direct support for the families of fallen officers like these four men.

Please join the National Fallen Officer Foundation as we support brave officers who have served their final watch. Will you chip in $500, $250, $100, $50, or even $25 to help us support families of officers like these four men as they come to terms with the deaths of their loved ones?

As line of duty deaths are increasing at a tremendous rate, we’re falling behind in our ability to fulfill our mission, and we need your next action to help close that gap. Can we count on you to support our mission TODAY?

For Our Fallen,
