Line of Duty Deaths
The 100 Club assists dependents of law enforcement officers and firefighters who have been killed in the line of duty. Assistance will begin after The 100 Club 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 100 Club will present the surviving spouse with a letter expressing condolences from the Board and $20,000 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 Club’s gift. A press release is sent to the media in an effort to inform the public of the gift. This presentation is usually held at the monthly Board meeting and the news media is usually invited to the luncheon meeting.
