‍For Line of Duty (LOD) Injuries ...

  • All injured officers should get an aided number.
  • Rules and Regulations state that injuries must be reported within 7 days of occurrence.
  • Make sure a PBA rep is present when the initial report is written.
  • It is imperative that the initial report is written correctly. Incorrect documentation could lead to a loss of benefits.
  • The injured officer is not required to seek medical attention immediately.
  • If an aided number is given and the PO signs on sick, he/she must see the surgeon within 24 hours. If the injury is a re-occurrence of a previous injury, then you must see the surgeon immediately (if ambulatory) if the surgeon's office is open, or within 24 hours if the surgeon's office is closed.
  • If he/she is in too much pain or is not able to travel, call MAO at 573-7410 and ask to schedule your visit at a later time or date.
  • Keep in mind, that the injured officer can still be ordered in.
  • If the officer gets an aided number and does not go on sick leave, he/she must see the Surgeon on his or her next tour that coincides with the Surgeon's hours.
  • Disputes over time off for recovery are resolved by a 207-C or Medical Review.
  • Form C-3 must be filled out within 10 days. These are completed with the aided packet.

Also...

  • LOD injuries require no out-of-pocket expense for the injured officers.
  • Any questions, call a PBA representative or the PBA Workers Compensation attorney for help.
