Support 502 Blue

When they’re on the front lines, Support 502 Blue has their backs.

Support 502 Blue was founded in 2020 by a group of concerned citizens in response to the challenges faced by officers during COVID-19 and the civil unrest of that time. When many officers were working tirelessly on the front lines, often without any days off for months, Support 502 Blue organized efforts to gather easy-to-carry nutritional snacks for officers to have on hand when there was no place or time to eat. Additionally, Support 502 Blue now shows appreciation for our officers’ service by providing retirement gifts.

Real Lives. Real Stories.

Support 502 Blue is making a lasting impression for the men and women who serve and the community members they’re responsible for protecting.

"Support 502 Blue means the world to us. It’s a daily reminder of how much the community cares and values the work we do. From snacks in the division to thoughtful retirement gifts, they go above and beyond to take care of us. We’re truly grateful for their support!"
Sgt. Tony Sacra
"Being recognized as I move on to the next phase of my life means so much. While the thanks from the department is appreciated, the retirement gift from Support 502 Blue, in partnership with the Police Foundation, is truly impactful. It's an incredible feeling to receive such a meaningful gesture from the citizens I've dedicated my career to serving. This gift is a reminder of the support and gratitude from the community, and I am deeply touched by it."
