The Assist the Officer Foundation provides financial assistance to officers who are facing the loss of income due to a serious injury, life-threatening illness, or other catastrophic event. Immediate assistance is also available to an active officer's family in the event of the death of the officer. Since its creation in 1999, the foundation has provided assistance to thousands of officers and their families who were faced with any number of different life-altering situations.
In 2004, the ATO Foundation launched a first of its kind, confidential counseling service, exclusively for Dallas area first responders. Our counseling program was designed for first responders, by first responders and professionals working together. As resources allow, the Foundation will continue its growth by adding new programs to meet the needs of first responders in an ever-changing world.
Our mission is to provide assistance to officers and their families in times of hardship, personal crisis, or critical need.
ATO pledges to continue to develop officer relations and care for those in need in the following four elements:
*Financial Assistance to Injured and Fallen First Responders
*Managing Specified Donations on behalf of Injured and Fallen First Responders
*Confidential Counseling Services
*Bridging the Divide
Monetary support to support our First Responders and their families.
