Why First Responders

Coverage without the conditions.

Line-of-duty benefits and department group coverage help — but they’re conditional. LODD benefits only apply on duty, group coverage ends at retirement, and pension survivor benefits are reduced and tied to your election. The gaps show up at the worst possible time.

We help first responders secure portable, individually-owned coverage with simple no-exam options — protection that pays your family no matter how, when, or where, and stays with you into retirement.

Built for your world

For police officers, firefighters, EMTs and paramedics, dispatchers, corrections, and the families who back them.

First Responders — FAQ

What is first responder life insurance?+

Individually-owned life insurance built for police, firefighters, and EMS — portable coverage that pays your family no matter how, when, or where you pass, unlike line-of-duty benefits that only apply on duty.

Isn’t my department or union coverage enough?+

Usually not. Department group coverage is typically one to two times salary and ends at retirement, and line-of-duty benefits are conditional. An owned policy fills the gaps and stays with you for life.

Can first responders get coverage with no medical exam?+

Yes. Most first responders qualify for simplified-issue coverage with no exam, often approved in a day or two and priced on age and health rather than a high-risk-occupation surcharge.
