We’re excited to announce a special partnership with Dry Fly Distilling in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial.

Dry Fly is producing a limited run of just 100 bottles each of Single Batch Gin and Wheat Whiskey, created to commemorate WSLEM20 and honor Washington law enforcement.

Proceeds from this special release will benefit Behind the Badge Foundation and help support our mission of serving law enforcement families and honoring the fallen.

Production is underway, and we’ll be sharing details on how to order soon.

Going back to school can feel different when a child is grieving.

Returning to routines, seeing classmates, and facing questions or reminders of someone they miss can make the transition especially difficult. Parents and caregivers can help by creating consistency, making space for emotions, and ensuring children know where they can turn for support.

This resource from the Children’s Bereavement Center offers guidance for helping grieving children navigate the return to school.

The LEFN Conference is designed for law enforcemen

The LEFN Conference is designed for law enforcement officers and the people who share life alongside them.

Come together if you can. If schedules or family commitments make that difficult, come for the part of the weekend you can and bring what you learn back to your home team.

You’ll find practical information, meaningful conversations, and resources designed for the realities of law enforcement life at home.

Join us November 6–8 in Everett.

✔ Manage the immediate crisis response
✔ Support grieving families and agency personnel
✔ Coordinate incident-management responsibilities
✔ Plan and manage memorial services
✔ Navigate benefits and available resources
✔ Provide thoughtful long-term care for the family and agency

Join us in West Richland, WA, on October 26–27 for this no-cost training.

Law enforcement families across Washington may liv

Law enforcement families across Washington may live in different communities and serve alongside different agencies, but many understand the same realities.

Shift work. Stress carried home. Pride in service. Concern for the person behind the badge. The value of honest conversations with people who understand without needing everything explained.

The LEFN Conference is a weekend to learn, reconnect, build relationships, and be reminded that support does not have to be limited to one agency, one region, or one family at a time.

Washington State's law enforcement families deserve a strong community of their own.

Join us November 6–8 in Everett.
