Our Team:
Chris Cosgriff - General Manager
Chris Cosgriff has a long history of supporting our country's public safety officers. While in high school, Chris volunteered in a support capacity with the Annandale Volunteer Fire Department in Fairfax County, Virginia. He also served as a law enforcement Explorer with the Fairfax City Police Department.
In 1996, Chris founded the Officer Down Memorial Page, Inc. (ODMP), a non-profit law enforcement memorial. With over 150,000 unique visitors per month, the ODMP has become the most respected law enforcement site on the Internet. He currently serves as Chairman of the non-profit organization and oversees the efforts of 12 volunteer staff members.
In his continuing mission to provide resources for, and to say "thank you" to, America's public safety personnel, Chris started two new public safety websites in 2007: FireLink.com and PoliceLink.com. Both have quickly become the Internet's most popular social and career networking websites for their respective communities.
Prior to starting FireLink and PoliceLink, Chris worked as a technical consultant to the Department of Defense (DOD), serving in various capacities to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Army Operations Center, and Pentagon Renovation. Before his service to the DOD, Chris worked for Capital One. Chris holds a B.S. in Integrated Science and Technology from James Madison University.
