OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS INFORMATION

Line of Duty Deaths

The Posse 100 assists dependents of law enforcement officers and firefighters who have been killed in the line of duty. Assistance will begin after Posse 100 has received written notification confirming a line of duty death has occurred from the chief executive officer of the involved agency and that the deceased officer or firefighter had dependents. Financial assistance is not provided in line of duty deaths where there are no surviving dependents.

Upon written notification of the line of duty death, the Posse 100 will present the surviving spouse with a letter expressing condolences from the Board and a check donation, to assist with any immediate financial needs. This presentation usually takes place within 72 hours of our notification.

When the time is appropriate, representatives of our Benefits Committee will contact the surviving spouse to make arrangements to meet and discuss the family’s financial situation. The result of that meeting will be shared with the full Benefits Committee who will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors for approval. After approval, the family will be presented with the Posse 100 gift.
