*IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN
In addition to funeral services, pension, and Social Security payments, the surviving spouses and children of officers killed in the line of duty get financial compensation from a number of local, state, and federal sources under the Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) Program.

In the case of Officer Jacobs, he was also a U.S. military veteran so his survivors will qualify for VA Survivors' benefits. If he was a member of the NRA as well, the NRA will contribute an additional $35k to the $335k paid by PSOB.

In South Carolina, the fallen officer's spouse is exempt from property tax and funding for his/her children is also available.

Here's a breakdown of the various sources of assistance awarded: https://www.odmp.org/benefits/state/south-carolina
