The Wounded Blue

The Wounded Blue improves the lives of injured and disabled law enforcement officers through support, education, assistance and legislative advocacy. Each year, approximately law enforcement officers are assaulted in the line of duty and almost lose time from work due to line of duty injuries. The severity of these injuries range from complaints of pain to permanent disabling injuries, many requiring extensive medical attention. In addition to the visible injuries, emotional and psychological trauma also affect an untold number of law enforcement officers, often leading to post-traumatic stress injury. The Wounded Blue was created to help injured law enforcement create a system of effective and caring peer support, be a resource for competent and effective legal council, and advocate for stronger laws and protection for American law enforcement officers.
