Our History
​
Well over 50 years ago, the men and women of the Turlock Police Department formed the "Widows & Orphans Benefit Fund." The core mission of this group was to care for families after an officer died in the line of duty. Soon this was expanded to care for all those suffering tragedy and loss. This effort went on to encompass all employees who passed-on after having served the City of Turlock with distinction and dedication.
​
In 1965, Widows & Orphans incorporated through the State of California into a non-profit organization known as the Turlock Police Association / Widows & Orphans.
In August of 2011, the organization was granted 501c3 status under the Internal Revenue Code.
