Our Mission
Blue Cancer Connect is the nation’s premier law enforcement cancer resource. Our mission is to support law enforcement officers diagnosed with cancer by providing:
- Guidance on treatment options and second opinions
- Peer-to-peer officer support
- Resources for early detection, education, and screenings
- Assistance in navigating insurance, benefits, and workers’ comp
Blue Cancer Connect was founded by Vickie Speed, a nationally recognized advocate for law enforcement officers facing cancer. Five years after her husband, Detective Mitch Speed of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, succumbed to job-related cancer in 2018, Vickie turned her pain into purpose, establishing the organization to honor Mitch’s legacy and to serve others who have heard the words ... “You have cancer.”
