About the Badge of Honor Association (BOHA)
Among the non-profits listed in the area, we would like to highlight one that is in the hearts of the Law Enforcement community.
The Badge of Honor Association (BOHA) was founded in 2007 by a Rochester Police Department Officer, Justin Collins. The Badge of Honor Association’s primary mission is to unite the Law Enforcement community and provides services to 25 counties within western NY.
“The Badge of Honor Association focuses on supporting the families of Police Officers in the event of a line of duty death, and those Officers involved in critical or serious accidents while on duty.”
The BOHA provides financial support in addition to awareness, counseling, education and recognition to Officers and their families when they are involved in a critical incident. BOHA provides the children of fallen Officers with support and events, including an annual weekend family retreat, and the BOHA ‘Shop with a Cop’ program during the holidays. The BOHA recently created the “Books and Board” program, aimed at helping the children of fallen Officers in attending college. The Books and Board program provides funds for college books and housing to the students.
