National Badge of Honor Memorial Foundation

The Foundation provides information and guidance to police departments and families when a uniformed officer is killed in the line of duty. It leads the way in casualty planning awareness and training, forming and bringing together programs to help ensure that departments and families everywhere are prepared. The local police departments generally do not have direct experience in assisting the families in preparing the paper- work that is required to claim all of the benefits that they are entitled to. The Foundation provides assistance and information to enable the families promptly and accurately file their benefit claims. The Foundation has legal advisers available to guide the preparation of benefit claims.they help ensure that the memories of fallen officers are honored and that no loved one is left behind due to the complexity in obtaining federal, state and city survivor benefits to which they are entitled.
