How to Get Involved
Arrest and Extinguish ALS hosts events across the country to raise money and awareness
for ALS research. You can participate by organizing an event or activity in your
community to engage others and make a collective impact. To learn more about getting
involved, contact us here.
Arrest and Extinguish was started by two first responders with ALS – former Lee, MA Chief
of Police Jeffery Roosa and former Pittsfield, MA Fire Department Deputy Chief Michael
Polidoro. Both men dedicated their lives in service of others, and after being diagnosed
with ALS were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from their colleagues and local community.
Jeff and Mike have both since passed from ALS, but we continue to honor their legacy,
challenging first responders across the country to get involved.
