There are 18,000 law enforcement agencies across the United States. But today, they face a critical gap. Funding for LGBTQ+ awareness training, hate crimes investigations, and LGBTQ+ Law Enforcement Liaison programs has been completely eliminated.

When federal support vanishes, progress shouldn't have to vanish with it. At Out to Protect, we believe every officer deserves access to this life-saving education. That’s why we’ve set a bold, urgent goal this year: to raise just $1 for every single one of the 18,000 law enforcement agencies in our country.

Our secure online training platform provides access to every law enforcement officer in the United States with Internet access. We can reach officers working in remote rural communities as well as those on patrol right now in big cities. The annual cost of this platform is $7000.

We can't do this alone—and we can't do it with one-time help. We need sustainable, reliable support to train officers month after month.
