We have chosen New Year’s Eve to remind us that police officers all over this country are working protecting our communities and away from their families.  We honor them and all those that have worn the badge by starting the New Year healthy, sober and safe.  We remember that no matter how bad things are, there can be a new beginning.

All runners receive a shirt that can be individualized if the entry form is received at least two weeks in advance.  Many of our runners have an officer’s name on their back that holds a special meaning to them.  A team name can also be placed on the back of the t-shirt.  Fundraising for the hotline is greatly appreciated.  Feel free to form a team or run as an individual.  All funds raised goes to Copline Inc. to fund trainings of peer listeners and software that is needed to support the crisis hotline.  Copline is a 501(c)3 so all donations are tax deductible.

There will be a virtual run that will start at midnight in every time zone.  Last year we had dozens of runners in NJ and virtual participants on the elliptical machine, stationary bikes and treadmills in Florida, San Diego and Oklahoma.  Runners can pick a specific location to start and finish or participate on equipment inside their Departments fitness area.

If you have any question please contact Copline Director/Founder, Stephanie Samuels at director@copline.org or 732-577-8300×8 or you could contact Jim Alvarez (LAPD Retired) for further information jalvarez@copline.org.
