The New York State Shields Inc. is a non-profit charitable 501-c-3 fraternal organization, comprised of law enforcement officers active and retired from all ranks throughout the New York State area.
Established in 1990 as the New York shields, Inc., we have now expanded ourselves and changed our name to the New York State Shields and have opened our membership up to ALL members of the Law Enforcement community throughout the United States. 

Every day the men and women of Law Enforcement put their lives on the line in protection of this great state and country of ours.  Unfortunately, too many of them make the "Ultimate Sacrifice", their own lives.  Our purpose is to offer a strong support system to the families of those Heroes who gave their lives "In the Line of Duty", and to let them know that we do not and will not ever forget what they or their loved one's have sacrificed for us.

Each May, the New York State Shields holds its annual Memorial Breakfast, honoring the families of those officers slain In the Line of Duty.  The Shields Medal of Valor is a beautiful tribute to these men and women and their families and has become one of the most widely attended and visible events in the law enforcement community.

     Since its inception, the New York State Shields, Inc. has become one of the most visible and widely respected fraternal organizations throughout New York State, lending support to organizations who also seek to assist the surviving parents and families of those officers slain in the line of duty.  If you have any questions or need further information on the New York State Shields, please feel free to call our Hot line at:  (212) 576-8898

THE SHIELD

The Shield protects us from harm,

And the monster's on the street.

From the drunks and drug dealers,

Walking the beat.

A safeguard that screens us,

From the criminal minds.

It covers us,

In fearful times.

The shield is worn by heroes,

One admired for their deeds.

The brave and the bravest,

One who succeeds?
