The Dallas PD officer that was a just killed serving a warrant is the second officer to die in the line of duty in the last few weeks. The prior officer was with Houston PD.

The NRA has a lot of members who are LEO's and there is a $25,000 death benefit available to the family of any officer killed in the line of duty, if the officer was an NRA member at the time of his/her death. They don't have to pay for it, they don't have to fill out any paperwork, they just have to be a member.

I just want to let everyone know of this benefit so we can let the officers' friends or departments know this money is available, if the officer was a member. The folks at NRA HQ try to keep up with this, but they don't hear of every officer killed in the line of duty, so let's do our part and try make sure these families get any available benefits. I am not suggesting we should contact the families! Contacting their friends or the department they work for would allow someone close to the family to inquire about membership in a much more caring way. Another option is to provide me with the officer's full name, address and any other identifying information and I will contact NRA HQ in an attempt to find out, before the family is contacted.

Does this include federal LEOs as well? or is it just for the families of state and/or local officers?

I wonder if the Border Patrol agent who was run over in Arizona a year ago was an NRA member.

I believe it is all law enforcement officers, federal, state and local. I'll confirm this.

Is there any program set up where you could contribute money to pay for an NRA membership donated to a LEO?
I would prefer to do that over giving to any of the questionable charities that I receive solicitations from.
Thanks, OE
