Who's Eligible

Specifically, the TASER Foundation will provide support to the families of those who gave their lives while protecting their communities. Immediate family (spouse and/or dependents) of a sworn active duty U.S. or Canadian law enforcement officer whose life was lost in the line of duty are eligible for benefits.

In order to qualify, the immediate cause of a loss of life must be duty related. Loss of life from a pre-existing medical conditional does not qualify. For example, if an officer working an administrative job suffers a heart attack while on duty the case would not be eligible.

Grants are available only upon request by the chiefs of police and sheriffs as well as federal law enforcement executives in the name of officers killed in the line of duty since August 1, 2004 in the U.S. and Canada. Checks are made direclty payable to the families, but are coordinated through the officer's department to avoid unnecessary intrustion into the families' privacy.
