The ANDREW JACKSON FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE (FOP) YOUTH CAMP is a summer
camp program for underprivileged children held at its facility on Old Hickory Lake in
Wilson County. The 35 acre property has been developed into a site that has a pool,
bunk house, mess hall, ball field and lake access. The week-long curriculum of
activities is geared to develop team building and break down cultural barriers. The
counselors are all police officers who donate their time to befriend, mentor and teach
the kids in an effort to break the stereotypes these children normally have of police
officers. The camp serves an average of 300 children per summer. In December the
camp and its volunteers treat some of the children to an all-expense paid shopping trip
called “Shop With A Cop”. The children, all from underprivileged homes, are given money to buy Christmas
presents for themselves and family members. Without this effort, some of these families might not be able
to celebrate Christmas at all.
THE ONE HUNDRED CLUB OF NASHVILLE was founded in 1979 by
area businessmen as a non-profit charity dedicated to providing
financial assistance to the families of police officers, fire fighters
and EMT staff employed by an official police or fire organization
in Metropolitan Nashville who lose their lives or are victims of
serious, traumatic and disabling injury in the line of duty. The 100
Club of Nashville accomplishes its tasks through charitable contributions and with members who donate $100
per year in dues. The 100 Club of Nashville has NO paid staff, NO paid or professional fundraisers, solicits
its members entirely through volunteers, and limits its administrative costs to a small amount of printing and
postage. Since 1979, The 100 Club of Nashville has paid more than $974,000 in debts for the families of 16
officers and firemen and one paramedic who lost their lives answering our calls for help.
CONCERNS OF POLICE SURVIVORS, INC. (COPS) provides resources to
assist in the rebuilding of the lives of surviving families and affected coworkers of law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty as
determined by Federal criteria. Each year, between 140 and 160
officers are killed in the line of duty and their families and co workers are
left to cope with the tragic loss. COPS provides resources to help them
rebuild their shattered lives. There is no membership fee to join COPS,
for the price paid is already too high.

National Police Week, scholarships, peer support at the national, state, and local levels, "COPS Kids"
counseling reimbursement program, the "COPS Kids" Summer Camp, "COPS Teens" Outward Bound
