Insurance Benefits
All members are entitled to insurance benefits that will protect you from
any accidental death or disability that occurred on any job related duties.
Our insurance benefit covers you while commuting to and from, or participating
in any assigned duties, training, or meetings. Law Enforcement officers are
covered if injured or killed while attempting to prevent a crime both on and
off duty. This benefit will pay in addition to any work related benefits such
as workers compensation. [top]
