Our Mission

A “near miss” is a situation in which a law enforcement officer could have been seriously injured or killed, but harm or death was averted. Our mission is to enable law enforcement personnel to share their near misses, and the lessons learned from them, with officers across the country to prevent officers from being injured or killed in similar situations. If we can help a brother or sister in blue make it home at the end of their shift, we have an obligation to act.
Sharing your story is an anonymous, secure, and non-punitive process.
