Who is Families of the Shield?
Families of the Shield, Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that
was the brainchild of a Melbourne Police Officer, in efforts to garner
support and raise public awareness for police officers killed or injured
in the line of duty or meeting the needs of their family members, as
well as assisting other community members in today’s most troubling and
difficult times. It was in January 2010, the long-lived vision became a
reality and Families of the Shield, Inc., was born. Whether its
financial or other monetary valued items or emotional support, we are
here to help. If you would like to financially show your support for
