California Association of Tactical Officers Benevolence Fund
The CATO community consists of men and women who have dedicated themselves to service by training and preparing to address some of the most dangerous challenges facing their communities. The CATO Cares program continues this spirit of partnership as those who serve come together to support first responders and their families in a time of need.
CATO Cares makes it easy to help law enforcement and their loved ones with immediate financial assistance when the going gets tough.
CATO Cares monitors and administers the fundraising process, providing financial relief to officers and their families who have been tragically impacted by a variety of scenarios:
- Line-of-duty death
- Near fatal injury
- Catastrophic event
- Ongoing illness for officer or immediate family member
CATO Cares gets funds directly into officers’ hands to meet their immediate needs.
