Our impact

Proof, not adjectives

Every number here is either published by us with a date on it, or filed with the IRS where anyone can pull it.

The dispatch atlas

This is what showing up looks like

Every blue dot is an injured officer who reached us this year. Every gold pin is a place we put people on a plane.

States reached this year An officer we helped National deployment
500+
Injured officers helped

This year alone, across twelve states.

Three national deployments
Covington County, Mississippi

A deputy ambushed with an AK-47. A team on the ground inside 48 hours.

Wichita County, Texas

Peer support for a department that had just lost one of its own.

Northern Utah

An officer whose department stopped calling. We started.

Signal positions are clustered inside each state and are illustrative - we never publish an injured officer's location.

99¢ OF EVERY DOLLAR

Where your money goes

99 cents of every dollar goes
straight to an injured officer

The rest keeps the phone line open. We publish the filings next to the number so you can check our work instead of taking our word for it.

Our founder has taken $0 in salary Every filed year from 2020 through 2024, Randy Sutton has drawn no pay from The Wounded Blue. That is in the public record.

Are you an injured officer, or someone who loves one? Call 833-TWB-TALK and an officer who has been through it answers. This is peer support, not an emergency service - in an emergency call 911, and in a mental-health crisis call or text 988.
