The group was born from a tragic incident which brought numerous law enforcement families to a local emergency room. In the stress of that time\, families were meeting each other for the first time\, while trying to support one another. Police Families United believes that such an incident should never again be the first time these families meet. The group's activities center on efforts to bring members of the law enforcement family together\, so that in times of tragedy\, they know each other well enough to support one another. They also will be providing training on various aspects of the law enforcement life\; promoting public knowledge of the challenges faced by today's law enforcement officer and family\; and supporting charities which improve the resources available to the law enforcement family. \n\n The film is being shown at the Johnson Theater on the University of New Hampshire campus in Durham.
