SAFE - Mission

To provide the comfort of financial support for the surviving spouses and dependents or, in their absence, the parents of sworn law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency services personnel who lose their life in the line of duty. The employing agency of said public safety officers must be headquartered in the Kansas City Metropolitan Crime Commission jurisdiction of Cass, Clay, Jackson and Platte Counties of Missouri and Douglas, Johnson, Miami, Shawnee and Wyandotte counties of Kansas.

SAFE currently fulfills its mission by providing an immediate lump sum $10,000 payment to the nearest surviving family member(s) of full time and volunteer law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency services personnel killed in the line of duty in the stated geographic area. In fulfilling its mission, SAFE receives and invests funds and endeavors to inform and educate the public on issues related to the sacrifices made by those involved in public safety and their families. When available resources permit, SAFE leadership will consider other ways to provide financial assistance to the families of those who have lost their lives in the performance of their duties. This organization is not intended to benefit survivors of federal or state agencies, many of whom receive benefits through other programs.
