ALLEAPS is NOT counseling.
ALLEAPS is a highly effective peer-driven support system that exists exclusively within the law enforcement brotherhood, instead of with well-meaning mental health professionals that cops typically do not trust.

WHY WE DO THIS
We do this
because we have seen it help other Officers and Dispatchers.
We do this
because it works!
We do this
because it’s needed and it makes sense.
About Us
We can help your agency with proper protocols for funerals, arranging for extra support for the agency during the days immediately following the incident, making sure the family is aware of the benefits available to them, and more. The more you prepare and train in ADVANCE, the better for all!
You should know this about us too:
ALLEAPS is made up of professional emergency responders who care enough to volunteer their time to “be there” for their brothers and sisters in tough times. ALLEAPS is privately funded. We have no employees, no government grants, and we are independent of being “controlled” by any agency or department. ALLEAPS proudly provides focused, practical peer support and training to emergency responders without cost.
