Hamilton County Police Officers:
The Law Enforcement community in southwest Ohio has created a 501-C-3 organization dedicated to providing
immediate resources and financial support for the families of officers killed or permanently injured in the line of
duty. The Shield was developed as a vision of the Hamilton County Association of Chiefs of Police, through the
creation of a charter membership in the "One Hundred Club", which includes those who contribute at least $100.00
during the first year. It is endorsed and supported by the Hamilton County Police Association and the Hamilton
County Association of Chiefs of Police, both of whom are Platinum Sponsors (donations of $1,000 or more).
The goal of The Shield is to secure a large fund of money which, through interest and equity, will be able to meet
the needs of deserving recipients. In order to accomplish this, we need the support of benefactors who are willing
to become Charter Members. There are two levels of donation: "The One Hundred Club" as described above; and
"Shield Member", which involves any amount of giving. All One Hundred Club members will receive a prestigious
lapel pin and wall plaque in appreciation for their support. Our long range goal is expansion to encompass all of
Hamilton, Clermont, Butler and Warren counties through annual contributions and by solicitation to private and
corporate contributors.
As police officers/civilians, you are presented with the opportunity to become a Charter Member of the One Hundred
Club of The Shield. Providing a fund for the benefit of our officers and families is an important endeavor. Charter
membership is a leadership issue that makes a huge statement in the Law Enforcement Community. As officers,
we need to take care of our own. Remember, it is never the wrong time to do the right thing.
Your check for $100 may be directed to The Shield, Inc. 7149 Ridge Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45237.
We welcome you to The Shield, Charter 100 Club!
Colonel Dennis M. Rees
President, Board of Directors
