Mission Statement

LEFSN is committed to providing emotional support, education, quality resources, and connections for law enforcement officers and their family members. We seek to maximize current law enforcement family directed outreach efforts, address gaps, and join regional partners to address the full scope of issues that impact “families behind the badge.”
