The primary purpose of the organization is to educate the public as to the benefits of defined benefit pension plans for firefighters and other first responders. They believe that changing retirement plan types for firefighters to defined contribution type plans reduces the inventives to work in such a hazardous profession and eventually leads to a lower quality workforce in a job in which their performance often is the difference between life or death to members of the public. They have educated the public in printed articles, seminars, website, and emails in order to further their goals of protecting defined benefit pensions for public safety officers. They expect this to benefit the community by helping to maintain a high quality of individuals in the fire department.
