What is the OSP Benefit Fund?  

Every year, our Troopers are asked to make their annual $15.00 contribution to the "Benefit Fund." The Benefit Fund was created years ago to provide troopers, uniform retirees, and their families immediate help as the result of  a death or injury to the trooper or family member.  

Do you know the benefits to the benefit fund?  Is your beneficiary designation current?
