It can be a made up story of police brutality, racism, hands-up don’t shoot, or some other falsehood. Last year almost 700,000 physical attacks on police officers occurred. Police assassinations; officers being ambushed have become all too common. PTSD and suicides are another growing problem in the industry.

The Wounded Blue – Many police agencies fall woefully short of providing the care and support so desperately needed when a traumatic physical or emotional injury occurs. They may fail to pay the medical bills, approve needed treatment or surgeries and they may reduce pay and fail to even recognize that Post Traumatic Stress Injury is very real and can be debilitating. That is why THE WOUNDED BLUE was created; to help injured law enforcement, build and administer an Emergency Financial Aid Fund, create a system of effective and caring Peer Support, be a resource for competent and effective legal council and advocate for stronger laws and protection for the American Law Enforcement Officer. Lt Randy Sutton is Founder of The Wounded Blue, and the Director Retired Police Sgt Jason Harney.
