A poem to remember.
There comes a time when I will be back to your cherished arms.
As you have done for me, so many times
There comes a time when we have to let go, the ones we love.
But never in our loving hearts.
There comes a time when we think back of the brave things that you have gone through and the love that you have given to us.
There will be a time when we will meet again.
Then l will be back in your cherished arms once again.
For all the families that have lost a loved one in the line of duty may they rest in peace.

I served in the North Yorkshire Police Special Constabulary and I would like to remember SC Glen Goodman who was killed by the IRA at Tadcaster North Yorkshire, my husband was a serving PC. He was on nights when Glen was killed and PC Kelly was injured, he can still hear Sandy Kelly shouting for help over the radio. I`d also like to thank Michael Winner for coming to the unvailing of Glen memorial, I know it`s very close to his heart.

I am remembering Jim McNulty. What a character he was. I became friendly with him in the original discussion forum years ago. He was a source of friendly advice to me even though we never met. An amazing man, an amazing legacy.
PC Richard Crook (27/07/2010)
I am a serving Police Officer and a Blue Knight member I attended my first Survivors service on the 25th July.
I can trully say I was touched by the work that is done by all those involved in the charity Cops may I send my heart felt feelings to all those who have lost loved ones in the Police Service I will continue to support this very beautiful event and also remember those officers who gave their lifes to protect others
Jill Haines (14/06/2010)
I am the widow of PC Anthony Haines who tragically died whilst on duty in 2001. Can someone please tell me why if I co-habit with someone who does support me in any way I lose My late husband`s penson? It seems very undemocratic that I have to spend the rest of my life alone whilst another unfortuante widow who has lost their spouse after 2006 can find solace with the companionship of another and keep their spouse`s pension. I was 39 years old when my husband died and even though I have good friends and family I am still alone.Does anybody else feel like this?
Denis Gunn (07/06/2010)
Remembering my son, PC Richard Gunn of Surrey Police, on his 36th birthday. Rick, you can’t begin to imagine how much I miss you, more and more and more as the years go by. I am so very proud of you. You’ll always be my hero and I’ll love you forever. God bless you, son. Dad.
ian Dixon (27/05/2010)

Suzanne Roberts (13/03/2010)
I have just made a donation to COPS in memory of my late husband, Christopher Roberts, who died on duty on 26/12/07. My children and I attended their weekend in Leatherhead and it was rewarding for them and for me. We have all opted to attend the Childrens Weekend this year, thanks to COPS. COPS are there for you whenever you need them, but also understand sometimes you need your space to come to terms with whats happened. All I can say is a big thank you to every individual who helps to maintain this charity, because without your personal experiences, families like myself and others would not be able to relate our emotions and worries so easily. Many thanks, Suzanne, Hannah and Peter Roberts.

As a County Councillor, I hope I can create more awareness to this excellent Charity to more Police Officers in Cornwall.

Hello to all of our huge planet police
I am one of the police so that the target retirement dream and I am so close to my dream.
Dream... Actually I have been in my time to retire, but unfortunately here in my state of São Paulo, In my country…Brazil in my State Police not easily loose their polices officers, even taking them right to their regular retirement.
In my case I retire with thirty 30 years of work and I am 34 years of good service as a researcher Police Detective First Class and i believe i will have to wait another 12 months.
Well that is not the case and not the reason for my letter.
The fact is that I only encountered by chance in this most rewarding and excellent site for police matters.
Here in Brazil we have a lot of sites of police and I like it
I am not different ... I am not seeing and learning from you guys who write this site.
Congratulations to all of you for the wonderful work you do around the country. I say for me and I will continue to consult this site and would certainly love to support you in any way that I can help and if you need something beyond sea ... just contact me.

I attended the Police Week in Washington this year for the first, but not the last. The high profile of Cops UK, and the posting of photos of UK fallen Police Officers on the memorial, made me very proud to be a `bobbie`. Thank you for all your hard work, thank you in particular for honouring the 3 fallen Met colleagues from this year, see you again next May in Washington.

well done to all at cops for supporting my sister and her 3 children when her husband and childrens dad was killed in the line of duty , they tell me that the support since that tragic day on 15.8.02 has helped them in comming to terms with there loss. the time spent at venues they have attended has given them lots of friendships and support from others who know how it feels to have lost someone

Gary Scott (25/09/2008)
Having retired from the police just over 12 months ago it was just by accident that I came across this most rewarding and excellent web site. Congratulations to you all for the wonderfull work you are doing. The police force is a big family and it`s good to know that an organisation like yours is there at a time when support from family memebers can be such a comfort. I will continue to view this site and would certainly love to support it in any way that I can. Well done to you all.
Neil Thallon (14/09/2008)
What a great organisation. Its brilliant to know that the family of officers who are killed in the line of duty are being thought of and looked after. A great charity that I certainly would love to support

SHEE (01/07/2008)
TO LOOSE SOMEONE YOU LOVE IS SO HARD TO COPE WITH. I KNOW I LOST A DAUGHTER TO A HIT AND RUN DRIVER WHO WAS NEVER FOUND. YOU HAVE GIVEN YOUR LOVED ONE IN THEIR LINE OF DUTY MY HEART AND BEST WISHES GO TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. IT IS SAID TIME HEALS BUT I FEEL THE SCAR STAYS FOREVER . I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR GIVING YOUR LOVED ONE. I AM NOT SURE THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO SAY. BUT I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN.
Ellen logan (01/07/2008)
My husband Colin MacDuff died on duty in 1973. At that time there was very little support for the survivors. I have just learned about COPS from Christine Fulton through reading about the Pension Rights Campaign. I am pleased that there is now support for new survivors as after the loss of a loved one under these circumstances life can be a very lonely place. Only by sharing can we find comfort with one another.
Denis Gunn (01/07/2008)
Remembering with much pride and many, many happy memories my elder son Richard Gunn of Surrey Police, on his 34th birthday. Missing you so much Rick. Love, Dad.
