Executive Director Jim Pasco had an extended conversation with Katie Sullivan, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), regarding the issuance of new PSOB guidelines (as outlined in the FOP’s request to Attorney General Barr on March 31) mandating that law enforcement officers and firefighters who contract COVID-19 are presumed to have contracted the virus in the line of duty for PSOB purposes. During the conversation, the FOP emphasized its deep appreciation to the President and the U.S. Department of Justice, under the leadership of Attorney General William P. Barr, for the prompt action on our request.
