On April 5th, 2006 Officer Kayvan Hazrati was injured (bullet wound to the head) in the line of duty.  Despite serious and life-threatening challenges, he has worked hard to recuperate.  
                                    During this time, Officer Hazrati has experienced some expected
                                    and some unexpected challenges ranging from personal to
                                    systematic.  He has also discovered other injured officers have
                                    encountered many of the same struggles.

                                    The April Five Organization was founded in January 2008,
                                    inspired by Officer Hazrati.  It’s mission is to serve and assist
                                    sworn officers of the CMPD as they recover from injuries
                                    sustained in the line of duty. 

                                    There are great risks and sacrifices involved in being a law
                                    enforcement officer. 

The sworn officers who protect us need to be protected as well.

April Five’s volunteers can help recovering officers with:
     Household chores;
     Financial assistance with medical bills, personal expenses and lost wages;
     Pro-bono services and medical/legal contacts;
     A place to meet others who have been through a similar situation and share your
     experiences.
