Clarify dental and vision benefits for families of police and firefighters killed on duty
Resolution Resolution No. 4-10
In Plain English
The city provides health benefits to spouses and children when police officers or firefighters die in the line of duty. Current policy is unclear about whether dental and vision coverage continues alongside medical benefits. If approved, families receive the same comprehensive healthcare package the employee had while alive.
