The Department of Justice (DOJ), as well as state, local, tribal, public safety agencies, and national organizations have collaborated on an effort to establish the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) programs. These programs provide death and education benefits to survivors of fallen law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other first responders. Additionally, PSOB programs can provide disability benefits to officers catastrophically injured in the line of duty. The Bureau of Justice Assistance PSOB Office is honored to review the nearly 700 claims submitted each year on behalf of America’s fallen and catastrophically disabled public safety heroes and their loved ones.
