Creating a Support System for Officers Involved in Shootings

The 1078 Project, a non-profit organization, aims to intervene in the lives of officers and their families within 24-48 hours after being involved in an officer-involved shooting. They provide mental, spiritual, and financial assistance during this difficult time. Their services include personal letters, financial resources, counseling, and recreational activities like fishing trips. The goal of the organization is to ensure that officers and their families do not have to go through the aftermath of a shooting alone and prevent the negative impact it can have on their mental, spiritual, and relational well-being.
