I'm seeking information on what your state or municipality gives to families of law enforcement officers who are killed in the line of duty.
I'm aware that Massachusetts gives the spouse, a 100% pension. Are there any additional lump sum payments (in addition the the payment issued by the Federal government)? Does your town or city pay for burial expenses?
I am moving forward on collecting information in order to change our current city ordinance which provides a 50% pension for those killed in the line of duty. The state contributes a lump sum payment in the area of $250,000, while the city provides a $5,000 lump sum payment to cover burial expenses.
I'm seeking to get a picture of what the national standard is in this area or at least the standard is in New England.
Thank you.
