2026 Fallen Officer's Memorial 5K

Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) Utah Chapter is excited to have you back for the Annual Fallen Officers Memorial 5k Run/Walk, sponsored by Nelson Jones. This event provides the community an opportunity to show their support to our law enforcement officers, and the families and coworkers of officers killed in the line of duty. 

Saturday, Aug 29th 2026 
Draper Park
(12500 S 1300 E)
9:00 am – 11:00 am

Proceeds from the event will support the families and co-workers of fallen officers throughout the state of Utah.  

Our mission is to provide resources to assist in the rebuilding of the lives of surviving families and affected co-workers of law enforcement officers, who have died in the line of duty. Furthermore, C.O.P.S. provides training to law enforcement agencies on survivor victimization issues, and educates the public of the need to support the law enforcement profession and its survivors.

Programs for survivors include the National Police Survivors' Conference held each May during National Police Week, scholarships, peer-support at the national, state, and local levels, "C.O.P.S. Kids" counseling reimbursement program, the "C.O.P.S. Kids" Summer Camp, "C.O.P.S. Teens" Outward Bound experience for young adults, special retreats for spouses, parents, siblings, adult children, extended family, and co-workers, trial and parole support, and other assistance programs.

C.O.P.S. knows that a survivor's level of distress is directly affected by the agency's response to the tragedy.  C.O.P.S., therefore, offers training and assistance to law enforcement agencies nationwide on how to respond to the tragic loss of a member of the law enforcement profession.
