AFFI Honor Guard Procedures for Notification of Members for Line of Duty Death Ceremonies

1. The AFFI Honor Guard is considered activated when the AFFI President contacts the Commander of the Honor Guard or his designee with news of a LOD event.

2. The Commander then notifies the District Commander in charge of the district in which the tragedy occurred.  The Commander designates an Event Coordinator at this time.  The Event Coordinator can be the District Commander, his First Shirt, or any other AFFI Honor Guard member that the Commander and District Commander agree upon.  The Commander should then proceed in contacting the remaining District Commanders, passing along vital information such as:
   A.    The Deceased's name
   B.    The Deceased's department and local
   C.    Dates, times, and locations of events (if known)

3. The calling tree should continue from this point until all members have been informed of the tragedy and know the dates, times, and locations where they will be needed.
