About Support Our Shields

What's My why? THE MISSION

Law enforcement officers have not only been defunded, they have been demonized, dehumanized, and demoralized.

Support Our Shields is dedicated to those brave men and women who are heroes that risk their lives every day in order to protect and serve. Our mission is to support police officers by combating negative stereotypes and narratives that are rampant today by encouraging positive police and community interaction. We do this by recognizing the important role our police play in society and promoting the contributions that often go unreported. We are committed to using multimedia to highlight the brave men & women who risk their lives every day to protect us.

We personally deliver plaques to police departments and thank our hero police officers who protect and serve us, keeping our communities safe, responding to our calls for help, and running to danger while others are running away.

No, they are not perfect, and yes, there are some bad police officers, but we contend that the vast majority of cops are doing their best to serve and protect our communities in an ethical, and courageous manner. Because of this they deserve our support.

All communities are at their best when the police and community work together as a team. Be a team player with your police officers and great things can happen!
