Does Workers’ Compensation Cover Police Officers?

Whether law enforcement employers have to carry workers’ compensation insurance varies by state. In Florida, state and local governments are subject to such a requirement. So, as public employees, law enforcement officers typically are covered by workers’ comp in Florida. Kevin works with covered officers in Florida to support them through every step of the workers’ compensation process.

Special Workers’ Compensation Rules For Law Enforcement
