What We Do
The Blue Phoenix Initiative
The Blue Phoenix Initiative is dedicated to bringing support and awareness to the silent suffering that police officers endure due to severe work-related injuries and traumatic events.
We have established a network to unite police officers to their communities like never before. By joining, you will be notified when an officer in your community has been injured and needs support.
Your generous donations will help us provide these services for officers in need.

We believe emotional support can impact mental health in a positive way. Through our community initiative program, we are providing emotional support to officers in need. We are also proud collaborators with the “All Clear Foundation”, a non-profit organization that offers a plethora of resources for first responders. This includes a unique access to a nationwide peer support group and resources to assist with mental health wellness. [Click the banner to learn more about this organization]

THE REALITY OF OUR HEROES 2019 DATA
ASSAULTS/ INJURIES
Severe work-related injuries can create financial hardships, disabilities, and mental health concerns for police officers. According to the FBI, in 2019 there were 56,034 police officers assaulted while performing their duties. Out of those assaulted, 17,188 sustained injures.
MENTAL HEALTH
Addressing mental health can truly save the lives of those officers who suffer in silence. Police officers are exposed to an overwhelming number of repeated stressors. These stressors come in the form of traumatic events, violent encounters, negative public image, extended work hours, shift work, departmental strife, and maintaining a healthy work life balance.
SUICIDES
Suicide still remains the leading cause of death by police officers in America. In 2019, there were 228 police officers that died from suicide. Among the 228 officers about 90% were male and approximately 25% were veterans according to data released by Blue H.E.L.P. By not acting, we act to fail and failure is not an option.
