This is a semi-sophisticated robocall from a call center, calling to beg donations for the "National Police and Troopers Association". Donations are *not* tax-deductible, as this is not a genuine charity but a tax-exempt *labor union*. When they tell you the proceeds may benefit surviving spouses, etc, it is only because this union happened to lobby for legislation to that effect. The vast majority of the funds raised go to pay for the call center; the remainder goes to a union. If you wish to donate to a union, feel free to answer the call.

That is the name of the organization. However, they are a labor union, soliciting donations by making it sound as if they are something they are not. If you wish to donate to benefit law enforcement personnel and families, I recommend seeking a local organization.

This is a pretty basic and well known scam.
