Standing for Those Who Stand the Post

The Red Dot Foundation, Inc.  is here to support the members of NYSCOPBA, other law enforcement agencies and selected charities in times of hardship, such as death, illness, injury and loss.  The Red Dot Foundation will also provide scholarships to benefit the children of NYSCOPBA members who are pursuing advanced education.   

Answering the Call

In the high-pressure environment of a correctional facility, a Red Dot Alert is the definitive call for assistance. It is a discreet, immediate signal used by staff to summon help when facing a direct threat. It represents the moment when duty meets danger, and the absolute necessity of backup.

The Red Dot Foundation, Inc. was built on this same principle of immediate, unwavering support. We exist to be the "Red Dot" for the members of NYSCOPBA and other law enforcement agencies—providing a lifeline during their most critical times of hardship, illness, and loss. When the alert is triggered in your personal life, we are the ones who answer the call.
