About Us
About Us
To protect and serve – every day over 850,000 law enforcement officers in the United States and Canada work to fulfill this mission. Sometimes these officers make the ultimate sacrifice and are tragically killed in the line of duty.
In 2010, 131 officers in the United States and Canada were tragically killed in the line of duty. More than 6,000 law enforcement agencies have lost officers in the line of duty. The average age of an officer lost in the line of duty is only 38 years old. In the US alone, an officer is killed every 53 hours.
In response to these tragedies, and as a way to give back to the law enforcement community, TASER International, Inc. established the TASER Foundation for Fallen Officers in November 2004. The initial endowment of $1,000,000 came from TASER International, Inc. and the direct contributions from TASER International employees.
To date the TASER Foundation has awarded over $2.95 million to more than 925 families of fallen law enforcement officers in the United States and Canada.
The TASER Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, granted tax exempt status from the IRS. Your donation is fully deductible to the extent allowed by law.
