The Officer Distress Fund is established to provide timely financial assistance to officers and their families in times of crisis or unforeseen personal hardship. 

Applications for assistance may be submitted by any member of the Wisconsin State Lodge on their own behalf, on behalf of another member, or on behalf of non-members, including law enforcement officers and individuals working in related fields facing financial distress due to injury, illness, death, or other significant personal events. 

Preference and priority will be given to members of the Wisconsin State Lodge, and their immediate families. While we remain committed to assisting non-member law enforcement officers and individuals in related fields, our primary focus will always be on providing aid to our members and their families.
