In February of 2020, the National Board of Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), voted to help start a separate organization for survivors of law enforcement suicide. The new organization would be modeled after C.O.P.S. and would bring similar services offered by C.O.P.S. to law enforcement suicide survivors by providing Survivor Weekend Retreats, a National Suicide Survivors' Conference and Virtual Sessions that offer a peer support network to survivors. Survivors of Blue Suicide Foundation, Inc. (SBS) addresses the emotional and psychological needs, that arise from the loss of a loved one by suicide in the law enforcement profession. The family and co-workers of any active or retired law enforcement officer who has died by suicide in the United States and its territories may use the services of SBS.
