The California Narcotic Officers' Association (CNOA) is dedicated to providing high quality training to the law enforcement professionals who are our first line of defense against the proliferation of illegal drugs in our state. Founded in 1964, CNOA is the largest non-profit training association in California with nearly 7,000 members at local, state and federal agencies. The Survivors' Memorial Fund was established in 1990 to provide immediate financial assistance to the families of all California law enforcement officers who paid the ultimate price by giving their lives in the line of duty. Since its inception, the Fund has assisted more than 178 families in their time of need. To date we've made 178 disbursements totaling nearly $445,000 ... and unfortunately climbing. The Survivors’ Memorial Fund
Golf Tournament is the primary financial source for the memorial fund.
Without the success of this annual event the Survivors’ Memorial Fund would
not be able to continue providing the level of financial support to the
families of our fallen officers. Without corporate sponsorships and
donations, the fund would cease to exist, and these families will be forced
to suffer the economic hardships during the most crucial days following the
loss of their law enforcement loved one.
What is the Survivors' Memorial Fund?
Tragically, each and every year, in the State of California, ten to twenty
law enforcement officers lose their lives in the line of duty. The survivors
of our fallen officers have informed us that the family’s immediate
financial need is for funds to cover food, travel, lodging and burial
expenses. Insurance and pensions are not received until many months after
the death of their loved one.
 When
seconds count, the First Responder Emergency Data (F.R.E.D.) Card
provides critical information to emergency medical personnel about the
First Responder who may be incapacitated. Designed by a full-time police
officer for law enforcement officers and firefighters, the F.R.E.D. Card
is the size of a credit card and comes with a sleeve embossed with a
prominent and immediately recognizable logo. The critical information
provided on the card provides you, the First Responder, with peace of
mind knowing that medical personnel will have the information they need
to administer the best, most immediate care possible in the event of an
emergency...when you
are the emergency.

You can fill out our form, or call California Narcotic Officers' Association at: (877) 775-NARC Donate Your Old Cellular Phones to CNOA We have entered into an interesting program, it's called Phone Recycling, and it allows us to raise funds for the Narcotic Educational Foundation of America by collecting used wireless phones. The phones are recycled, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Narcotic Educational Foundation of America. With an estimated 30 million inactive cell phones out there, the potential is tremendous.
