The Westchester B.L.U.E. Foundation is a non-profit, volunteer peer-support group dedicated to providing
a confidential and supportive environment for police officers and their families to cope effectively with stresses experienced during a career in law enforcement. The Foundation will reduce existing gaps in the access and availability of necessary support services.
The Westchester B.L.U.E. Foundation was established in 2011 by several active and retired members of the Law Enforcement community, as well as a number of civilian professionals who are likewise dedicated to the mental, physical and emotional well-being of our local police officers. The foundation was established for the charitable purpose of aiding active and retired police officers and their families in crisis, dealing with a tragedy, illness, death, substance abuse, suicide, or are in financial need by referring them to counseling, psychiatric, medical and social providers or facilities that will address their specific needs.
It is our mission to be the assistance for police officers that they so desperately need while dealing with any of the aforementioned situations. Too many times police officers feel that, even with a strong chain of support consisting of family and friends, they still have no one that will truly understand the emotional and physical drain they feel from dealing with the day-to-day issues that a police officer experiences, and continues to experience even after retirement. We want to fill that missing link in their support chain and be the “First Responders for our First Responders”.
