BANK THE BLUE AMBASSADORS

Retired Law Enforcement Officers

Bank the Blue’s Ambassador program consists of retired police officer representatives who have been locally trained to make roll call visits to police departments across Illinois.

All members of Bank the Blue’s Ambassador team are retired law enforcement officers who have been vetted and locally trained by Bank the Blue leaders to attend and present Bank the Blue resources at roll call visits. Roll call visits by Bank The Blue representatives raise awareness among active duty Illinois police officers that help is only a call away. For a police officer in crisis, the support gained from a fellow officer with shared experiential knowledge has been proven to be highly effective.
