Venture capital executive Mark Love has been active with several Arizona organizations that support law enforcement officers and their families. In addition to his decade-long membership with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Posse, Mark Love oversees fundraising events that provide financial support for families of officers killed in the line of duty.
According to the organization Fallen, nearly all fallen police officers have underage children at the time of their passing. While there are federal benefits for the dependents and spouses of fallen police officers, the process for filing and receiving these benefits can be complex and lengthy.
Families of fallen officers can face immediate financial hardship, including an inability to pay for daily expenses, funeral costs, and the cost of children’s schooling. Organizations for the families of fallen officers fill in the gaps by providing immediate financial assistance. These nonprofits may also provide emotional support for grieving families by setting up memorials or hosting holiday events.
