COPS DIRECT

COPS DIRECT is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supplies law enforcement agencies with first‑responder medical equipment (trauma kits, tourniquets, chest seals, etc.) and related training on a request basis. The organization operates as a donor‑funded supply line, delivering kits and training to departments that lack procurement capacity or budget to purchase these items. In the last 2–3 years COPS DIRECT has remained active in equipment donations and training: notable activity includes a March 2022 donation of a critical‑care trauma manikin to support multi‑department training in Colorado, and public fundraising and distribution efforts reported in 2023 and 2024. The organization files annual Form 990 returns and publishes audited financial summaries; its most recent publicly posted filings show a significant change in revenues and net assets between fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2024, reflecting a marked reduction in reported revenue and an operating deficit in the most recent year.
