Virginia FOP

Sheepdog tells the story of a decorated combat veteran returning home, exploring the toll of service on mental health and the journey to post-traumatic growth (PTG). Its themes closely mirror what law enforcement officers and first responders face every day. Catch two showings at Pathways to Excellence in Las Vegas, Sunday and Tuesday evening. Each screening will be followed by a panel with Steven Grayhm, the lead actor, and FOP personnel. On Sunday, Dr. Tara Consolino will also join the discussion. Don’t miss this chance to see a story that speaks to our profession. #SheepdogTheMovie #PathwaysToExcellence #OfficerWellness #FirstResponderMentalHealth #PTG #LawEnforcementLife #FOPEvents #SupportAndResilience

Remember that support is just a call or text away. If you or a fellow officer are in crisis, reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, Crisis Text Line at 741741, or COPLINE at 1-800-267-5463. You are not alone.

Our heart felt prayers for the family of Lt Col Shah and the other students injured. Thankfully the ROTC students quickly acted and eliminated the threat to their safety as officers were rushing towards the threat. The scumbag terrorist who committed this heinous act is dead.

Agree, @MarkFusetti. 💙 ~M

WHAT A COP LOOKS LIKE… Regardless of Rank Regardless of Risk Regardless of Resistance Standing the Line #Hero

🚨 This bill also affects law enforcement, as Delegates deliberately removed exemptions for LEO’s & retiree’s. This bill is a disgusting attack on Law enforcement and every law abiding gun owner. Does nothing to deter crime or criminals… @SpanbergerForVA @GovernorVA

Most people will face 3–5 traumatic events in a lifetime. Police officers experience hundreds - and still show up. #LawEnforcement #OfficerLife #PoliceWork #FirstResponders #MentalHealthAwareness #ProtectAndServe #FOP Credit to original creator Used for informational purposes

Trooper Zarola and Trooper Burch of the Virginia State Police couldn’t pass up a quick photo with Buc-ee the Beaver at Buc-ee’s in Rockingham County. They may have shared some highway safety tips… and Buc-ee may have shared a thing or two about brisket! Whether traveling across Virginia or just making a pit stop, remember to slow down, buckle up, stay focused, and drive distraction-free. The safest trip is the one that gets everyone home.

Virginians should be alarmed that they have a sanctuary state Governor playing politics with American lives. It's shameful.

What could go wrong here…. People like this are behind bars for a reason. The people responsible for his release should be held accountable countable to his next victim(s)

SOMETHING IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG… When an Entire Side of the Political Aisle refuses to Stand and Acknowledge their Number 1 Responsibility is to Protect Americans Not a Partisan Issue (or at least should NOT be) #SaysItAll #Shameful

@GlendaleFOP12 Prayers for the family of Sergeant Schlattman and our brothers and sisters in New Mexico.

Preparation and realistic training are what allow officers to adapt when situations shift rapidly. Seconds matter more than most realize. #PoliceTraining #LawEnforcement #FOP #OfficerSafety #PublicSafety

Police spouses carry more than most people will ever see. They carry and strength. They carry families through unpredictable schedules, and silent fears, all while loving someone who runs toward danger. CopLine® is here for law enforcement families, too. 1-800-COPLINE 24/7

🚨 We’ve seen our share of ludicrous bills in this year’s General Assembly. This bill would prevent any Law Enforcement Officers from carrying a weapon when off duty. Would make almost all LEO’s and gun owners criminals. We vehemently oppose this bill! lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/2…
