Helping to rebuild shattered lives

Greetings to all as we begin our new year in 2010. 

Our last year of 2009 was met with many challenges, however, through these challenges we have made much progress.  As your president, I am happy to report that our Executive Board has worked most diligently and very hard to bring needed resources to our survivors of our Central Florida Chapter.  Here are a few ways in which this has been accomplished:

1.We have established our first ever website for chapter and hope to bring information

  to you more quickly and cost effectively.  Our Website is located at www.cflcops.org

  Thanks to Tom Callin for all his work to bring that project to fruition.

2.We have begun the process of meeting with Sheriffs in our chapter presenting them

       with our mission of COPS.  We have been welcomed with open arms and we are

       realizing support which we had not previously received.

3.Through the efforts of board members, we have reached out to organizations for

             supporting our families of survivors.  Generous donations have been made to

             support our mission of “rebuilding shattered lives”.  These organizations include but

             are not limited to the International Drive Chamber of Commerce, The Blue Knights,

             Star and Shield*, and upcoming sponsorship from the LawRide.

Unfortunately, we have felt the loss of our fallen in our chapter in 2009.  We have reached out to these family members and the respective departments conveying our sympathy and support.

I want to encourage you to come to our next quarterly meeting scheduled in March so you can have a voice in our chapter and be a part of what the Central Florida Chapter is doing.  Please pay attention to our website for times and location.

We continue to be a service to you and your family. 

Respectfully and honorably at your service,

David Callin
