​​Ohio Public Safety Employees

Police and firefighters have earned the privilege of participating in the Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund by faithfully serving Ohio, ably and bravely.

If you’re ready to get serious about maximizing your retirement benefits, 1st Responder Financial Advisors can help assess your current benefits, recommend changes, how to create a supplemental savings plan, and provide education. Our goal is to help improve your overall retirement savings knowledge and progress so you can retire on time with the assets you may need.

Bruce Koellner, Founder of 1st Responder Financial Advisors, served his community as a Battalion Chief for over 27 years. He has a deep understanding of how OP&F works having gone through it himself. Now he helps his fellow firefighters and other public employees navigate OP&F.
