LMPD officer Nick Rodman dies after fiery crash Tuesday night in west Louisville

I was at the retirement board yesterday checking on when I can leave and they said, because he was in the tier 3 retirement (401K), and didn't have five years on yet, his family won't get crap from the pension board. He did say there was some line of death benefits, but no monthly pension. I sure hope he was wrong.

You can very easily access line of duty death benefit information for Kentucky peace officers with a little research online.

The benefits typically vary by state, but not always significantly.
