A police officer’s job can’t be put on hold when disaster strikes.

They work through the worst conditions to help others.

The Police Benevolent Foundation and the Southern States Police Benevolent Association are ready to help law enforcement officers and their families that may be affected by Hurricane Florence.

The Police Benevolent Foundation was initially created in 2005 to aid officers and their families after Hurricane Katrina.

The foundation has established the “Hurricane Florence Police Officers Recovery Fund” to aid these officers during their time of need.

Donations can be made through the Police Benevolent Foundation’s website at https://bit.ly/2xkG9m2 .

Law enforcement officers who need financial help to rebuild or recover from the Hurricane damage are asked to call SSPBA at 1-800-233-3506 extensions 554 or 725.

Officers may also email information about the damage or help they need to gjohnson@sspba.org .

The Southern States PBA and Police Benevolent Foundation will work to ensure that all money received through the “Hurricane Florence Police Officers Recovery Fund” goes toward helping officers and their families rebuild.

Southern States PBA President Chris Skinner said, “Our thoughts, prayers, and support go out to these officers and their families during this difficult time.

“We are now asking for the help of the community, both locally and nationally, to aid in efforts to provide much needed support to these officers and their families in this time of distress. These officers are true heroes.”
