The Los Angeles Police Cancer Support Group was established in mid-2005 after Sergeant Michael Apodaca, then the Department Wellness Coordinator, recognized the powerful benefit of bringing together members of the law enforcement community who were living with cancer, cancer survivors, and the family members and caregivers who walk beside them.  More than a Department resource, we are a community built on compassion, understanding, and shared experience. Through connection, education, and support, we help individuals and families navigate the emotional impact of cancer while promoting awareness and early detection. We look forward to supporting you. When the road feels narrow, you don’t have to walk it alone.

Supporting the law enforcement family through cancer—with compassion, connection, and hope.
