MASIP Remembers - Giving You Peace of Mind When Tragedy Strikes

Fallen Heroes

The Fallen Heroes committee was established to enable the MASIP to respond quickly to a Contract Security Officer’s or Investigative Professional’s death or life threatening injury. We provide his or her surviving family desperately needed assistance with medical and ambulance bills, burial expenses, rent, utilities, food and child care. It is also a vehicle for outreach into the greater Contract Security and Investigative Professional Industry and an expression of stewardship for those employed by it. This committee shall report its activities to the MASIP Board of Directors, however, its operations are completely independent.
