Police Wives of Ohio, Inc. was founded in 2012 by Anna S. as a support group and has grown into a full support, all volunteer, non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide emotional and financial support to Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) and their families throughout the State of Ohio. This organization is made up of police wives whose husbands represent different aspects of law enforcement all across Ohio. They volunteer their time because they believe in supporting each other. We believe that the Thin Blue Line is a family unit.
In our first few years of operation, we have sent out hundreds of cards and care packages to injured LEOs and fallen LEOs families. We have also raised
thousands of dollars for some of these officers and their families to aid them in their time of need. One of our favorite events to participate in each year is National Police Week, where we not only honor the fallen, but thank those still serving by providing food, goody bags and more to show them that we care and are proud of the hard work they put in every day with little to no thanks.
​
Our Executive Board is made up of wives who are passionate about supporting law enforcement families and supporting each other and fellow law enforcement wives. Please direct any questions to our Executive Director, Dawn.

OFFICER SUPPORT
We have a few different ways of aiding officers and their families. Our Care Team sends out cards and care packages to injured/fallen LEOs and their families. They also are able to fundraise for LEO families in need.
Our Department Needs Team works with departments across the state to find out their particular needs and works to fill that need. Our current goal is to make sure all cruisers have a tourniquet.
Our events/fundraising team does fundraising for PWOO as a whole and allows us to maintain all our awesome programs. They also plan events for police wives across the state to allow for fellowship and fun. Check out our events tabs to learn more about what we have going on!
