We are honored to announce the Geneseo Fire Department, Geneseo, NY will host the nationally known full day Line of Duty Death (LODD) seminar: 'Tradition, Honor, Respect - Responding to the Line of Duty Death- Special Edition'.

A memorial opening and closing prayer will be conducted to honor this special day. New information and updates will be presented, including Public Safety Officers Benefit Program, Hometown Hero's benefit extension, results from the IAFC LODD research recently published, contributing sleep deprivation study results, PSOB Autopsy requirement update and more.

Not only will the information being presented be about LODDs, but how to best approach, plan and respond to the non-LODD deaths or serious injury of emergency responders, but also their surviving family, the surviving department, grief support and handling the multitude of logistical challenges of these tragic events.

There will be an extra effort to get all emergency agencies to attend including: Fire, EMS, Police leadership, CISM Teams, Fire/EMS/Police clergy, Fire Police, Fire/EMS Safety Officers, Funeral Directors and others. This class continues to fill out completely so early registration is recommended.

Chief of the department, Andrew Chanler, added this comment about this special edition of the program:
"By hosting this program on such an important and honorable day it is our hopes that the agencies that can attend will benefit from our past experiences, share resources as well empower other departments to begin preparing for what will be the most difficult event in their history"
