Regional Representatives

 

Our amazing Regional Representatives are volunteers from across the country that have a passion for officer safety. The regions mirror that of ICC. The Regional Representatives help represent the Foundation and promote CEOSF in their region with associations, chapters, and agencies. They may be involved with conferences and trainings where CEOSF is represented. If you are interested in helping the Foundation, we are looking for regional representatives across the country. Please email us.
