Grant Description

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.
