Our Mission

Protecting the bond that exists between community and local law enforcement through education, programs, and briefings, while offering support for families of fallen officers killed in the line of duty, and grants to law enforcement agencies for protective equipment, educational training, and memorials.

Intelligence Brief
The Intelligence Brief is a semi-annual educational report for about 16,000 local police, county sheriffs, and state law enforcement. The LECF Intelligence Brief provides accurate information and intelligence, which many law-enforcement officers are not receiving. One important objective is to create better understanding about the people and organizations behind the war on police. This information will help law enforcement officers better protect their communities against civil disorder.

Educational Aid for Children of Fallen Officers
The children of fallen officers face a tough, uphill battle as they struggle to come to grips with life without their loved one. However, with the aid of a solid educational foundation, these children can succeed and go on to become our next generation of leaders. To help them receive this foundation, LECF would like to (depending upon donation levels) provide educational grants to qualified children of fallen officers to attend Freedom Project Academy (FPA).
