The Importance of a Line-of-Duty Death Packet

 

At BCN, we are honored to support California’s public safety professionals and their families — especially during times of crisis. Our Line of Duty Death & Emergency Notification Packet is a structured, proactive tool designed to ensure that essential information is available when it matters most.

This document allows members to record personal wishes, key contacts, funeral preferences, and other critical details. It supports seamless coordination between family members, department leadership, and peer support teams in the immediate aftermath of a line-of-duty death or catastrophic injury. Included are:

  • Emergency and family notification preferences

  • Survivor liaison assignments

  • Medical directives and veteran status

  • Funeral, burial, and memorial instructions

  • Legal, financial, and personal asset references

Departments that integrate this packet into their peer support and critical incident protocols are better equipped to serve their members with clarity, compassion, and professionalism when tragedy strikes.

With hundreds of retiree and line-of-duty death claims supported each year, BCN has seen firsthand how valuable it is to have this information on file before it’s needed. We are proud to make this resource available to associations and departments throughout California.

Ensure your department is prepared.
