"If an FFDO is operating in accordance with the FFDO SOP, on or off Mission Status, he is covered under this plan -with or without TSA representation. This plan is comparable to that purchased by thousands of other Federal Law Enforcement Officers and is a must for every FFDO."
- Paul W. Nelson
Secretary, Federal Flight Deck Officers Association
FFDO Insurance: Protect yourself while securing others.
You’re confronted with an enormous amount of liability exposure every day as a Federal Flight Deck Officer. When you are faced with the possibility of having to deploy lethal force, you could also be faced with serious allegations against you that may arise through your duties of defending the flight deck.
It is a lonely (and expensive) journey to resolution, even if all the allegations are unfounded.
