The Colorado Fallen Hero Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization made up of Colorado law enforcement officers and civilian personnel who serve in a voluntary capacity.
When a line of duty death occurs, the Colorado Fallen Hero Foundation can assist, support, and provide resources for a host agency in their effort to serve the deceased officer’s family based on their needs and wishes. Our presence allows agency members to participate in honoring their colleague without the pressure of funeral planning, allowing them an appropriate time to grieve.
Planning a line of duty death funeral while handling the associated investigation and the routine of the everyday call load can overwhelm any agency. Our team of professionals integrates with agency personnel to assist with funeral planning to whatever extent the family and the agency desire. Horan & McConaty donates their services and provides a casket or an urn at no charge. Over the course of the last 30 years, H&M has donated its services for nearly 30 public safety officers. Additionally, John Horan provides consultation services to the organization regarding processes and ceremonies.
In addition to providing line-of-duty death response and memorial planning, the CFHF is proud to provide peer support and mental health resources for agencies that do not have access to such resources. In partnership with Dr. Sara Metz and Code 4 Counseling, we are able to deploy a team of trained public safety peer support professionals anywhere in the state to assist agencies dealing with a line-of-duty death. We understand the impact such a tragedy has on an agency and a community and want to ensure that we are taking care of our fellow officers.
Our services are provided at no cost to the agency or the family.
