BJA FY 12 Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) National Law Enforcement Survivor Support

Enacted in 1976, the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) Program is a collaborative effort of the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), PSOB Office, and local, state, tribal, and federal public safety agencies and national organizations to provide Death, Disability, and Education Benefits to those eligible for the program. This collaboration relies significantly on the ability of the PSOB Office to work with national partners to maintain and enhance a wide range of effective survivor resources, including national peer support and counseling programs that assist the families of public safety officers who have fallen in the line of duty.

Applicants are limited to for-profit organizations and nonprofit organizations with significant experience in designing and delivering support and resources at the national level for survivors of fallen law enforcement officers. Demonstrated knowledge of the PSOB Programs and related public safety and survivor initiatives is essential. For-profit organizations must agree to forgo any profit or management fee.
