"Police officer deaths…are on pace to rise for the second straight year."

| Our Mission: To Reduce the Numbers of Law Enforcement Officers Injured and Killed in the Line of Duty Through Training and Education and Support Those that Risk Their Lives Every Day for the Safety of Our Community |
We Fulfill Our Mission in Three Ways…
| Advanced Training | Equipment Grants | |
|---|---|---|

Advanced Training — Offered FREE to law enforcemnt officer nationwide — is our major focus. While each agency and department offers quality training for new and current officers, training budgets are limited. To help supplement training resources to help keep our officers safe, APSA develops FREE training programs for officers nationwide, through our training organization, the Police Officers Safety Association.
