When the call ends, the risk doesn’t.
The Utah Firefighter Supplemental Legal Defense Plan gives you access to experienced legal defense when your career, certification, or freedom is on the line, on duty or off.
For less than $1.05 per day, you gain a powerful layer of protection designed specifically for the realities of fire and EMS work in Utah.
Because Today’s Fire Service Comes With Legal Risk
Firefighters and EMS providers are facing more scrutiny than ever:
- Apparatus and ambulance collisions
- Criminal investigations following critical incidents
- Controlled substance handling exposure
- Wildland-urban interface liability
- Media-driven prosecution pressure
Your department or union coverage may not be enough, or may not apply when you need it most.
This plan fills that gap.
A Supplemental Legal Defense Plan, Built for First Responders
This is not insurance.
It’s a defense-access legal plan that ensures you have experienced legal representation when a covered event occurs, plus access to valuable legal services at reduced rates.
It works alongside your department or union coverage and activates when those protections fall short.
On-Duty Criminal Defense Coverage
If you’re investigated, cited, or charged for actions taken in the line of duty, the plan provides:
- Legal representation from investigation through trial
- Defense for misdemeanor and felony allegations
- Protection when your employment or certification is at risk

Off-Duty Criminal Defense Protection
Coverage doesn’t stop when your shift ends.
- Defense for qualifying off-duty criminal matters
- Coverage across Utah, Idaho, and Nevada
- Up to $40,000 in legal representation for eligible cases
Certification & License Defense
Your certification is your career.
The plan provides legal representation if your license or certification is at risk due to:
- Investigations
- Disciplinary proceedings

Pre-Charge & Investigation Representation
