Feeling lonely? The DOJ Social Companionship Program connects you with local, caring police officers for friendship and support. Sign up for a free consultation and start enjoying life with someone who will always be there. Limited spots—don’t miss out!
Do you need a strong shoulder in your life?
With the rise of loneliness and isolation, the Social Companionship Program was introduced by the Department of Justice. We pair off-duty local police officers and trained specialists with individuals seeking friendship and companionship. Engage in activities that are comfortable for you and make meaningful connections—always have someone who will be there for you. Please note that the program does not provide caregiving services.
Step 1
Fill out the form, and our system will pair you with a dedicated professional in your area.
Step 2
Connect with your officer by sending him a friend request on Facebook. Our primary communication channel is Facebook Messenger.
Step 3
The officer will schedule a free consultation with you. Text or voice—your comfort is our priority!
Step 4
Explore what the program offers and ask the officer any questions. Enjoy in-person meetings, coffee together, trips, and more. You’re not alone anymore!

Everything was straightforward and exactly as I expected. I connected with my officer through Facebook, had a great consultation, and joined the program. Now, I’d say we’re more than friends. I’m no longer alone in this world. Thank you for giving me hope and saving me in this world.

You might be wondering, “Who will I be paired with, and can I trust them?” No worries—every
officer has been thoroughly vetted and has a background in law enforcement. After you fill
out the form, you will receive the officer’s credentials, including their badge number. You
can even check their social media to see that they’re just regular humans—probably enjoying
pizza or taking goofy selfies like the rest of us!
Remember, our officers need companionship and support just like you do. Some of them have faced
challenges and served in various capacities, so be kind and enjoy your time together.
Additionally, there may be others in your community who also need help. If you know someone who
could benefit, consider joining the program together. Let’s grow our community and support one
another—because who doesn’t want to hang out with a friendly officer who might just love cat
videos as much as you do?

What should I do after filling out the form and being paired with an officer?
Once you’ve completed the form and been matched with an officer, the next step is to send them a friend request on Facebook. You’ll find a dedicated button on the page to make this easy! The officer will receive your friend request and add you. After connecting, they will schedule a consultation to discuss what happens next.
What states do you serve, and what if there’s no available officer in my small town?
No need to worry! We have dedicated officers and volunteers in every state, and we’ve never encountered a situation where we couldn’t reach a member. Our program has expanded internationally, providing companionship in California, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, so we’ve got you covered no matter where you are!
Are there any associated costs?
Yes, there may be some costs involved. During your free consultation, the officer will provide all the details regarding potential expenses for joining the program. These costs arise from increased demand and a shortage of available officers. Rest assured, there are no hidden fees—just check in with your officer for transparency.
What activities will we do together?
The possibilities are endless! You can go for hikes, take trips, enjoy coffee dates, or simply spend quality time together. These officers are like teddy bears—they're friendly and supportive, so get comfortable and have fun!
Are the professionals vetted?
Absolutely! We provide you with comprehensive information about the officers, including their credentials, badge numbers, and social media profiles. You can trust that these individuals are thoroughly vetted and committed to your safety and well-being. In the history of our program, we have never had a reported issue, but if you ever feel uncomfortable, you can reach out to us via email or through our official page.
What if I’m a timid person and find spending time with an officer intimidating?
That’s completely understandable! You can start by texting each other to build a rapport before deciding to meet in person. Your officer will prioritize your comfort and will never push you into a situation that makes you feel uneasy.
