COPLINE®
International Law Enforcement Officers' Hotline | AN OFFICER'S LIFELINE
“Cops understand Cops. We’ve been exposed to similar situations in our careers. Whether you’re active duty or retired and feel like no one understands what you're going through, we want to answer your CALL.”
COPLINE® has earned the trust of the Law Enforcement community by providing active listening through a hotline while maintaining confidentiality, as well as anonymity if the caller chooses. We train competent, confident, committed, and compassionate retired officers to engage with callers on the daily stressors officers and their family members experience. There are three reasons confidentiality would have to be compromised: if there is a credible threat of harm to others, or suspected child or elder endangerment or abuse, which is why all volunteers must be retired.
COPLINE is a hotline exclusively for current and former Law Enforcement personnel and their families.
We are not associated with any police departments or agencies.
COPLINE® IS
a not-for-profit 501(c)3 dedicated to serving active and retired law enforcement officers and their loved ones.
We provide 24/7, CONFIDENTIAL services for callers who are dealing with various stressors encountered both on and off the job. Whether it is just a "bad day" or a full blown mental health crisis, our retired and trained volunteers are here to listen, sit in the hole with the caller, and provide culturally competent resources.

Suicide Research
Self-Report
BlueHelp.orgVerifiable Data
Dr. John Violanti analyzed suicide data between 1999-2013 (present data availability) and came up with a verifiable statistic from a Centers for Disease Control database - Law enforcement officers have a 54% higher probability for suicide than does the general U.S. working population - based on a sample of 5 million U.S. workers.
Head Injury Research
The role head trauma plays in the mental health of law enforcement officers is just now being studied. Most officers have not been diagnosed with concussions or TBI's but have had their “bell rung” countless times many of those times there have been no symptoms. Those hits are known as nonconcussive which all add up.
