who we are
During the summer of 1958, the Officers of The Greenwich Police Department were faced with a serious and perplexing problem. One of their brother Officers had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and was confined to Greenwich Hospital. His family faced seeminginurmountable medical expenses. The Greenwich Police Officers organized benefit dinners and even made personal donations to the family but it was simply not enough. The idea was born to form a, “club’, its purpose to provide financial assistance to Officers in need. That club became The Greenwich Police Silver Shield Association, its name conceived from the, “badge of honor”, each of them wore.
our mission
