What Is the Blue Ribbon Arson Committee (BRAC)?
The Blue Ribbon Arson Committee (BRAC) was developed in 1973 to assist investigators in the state
of Ohio. In 1978, BRAC started Reward Fund which offers financial incentives for information that
leads to convictions involving the crime of ARSON.
Since the program’s inception, 515 rewards have been issued with $628,000 being paid out as rewards.
Approximately, 680 fires have been solved with over 260 of these fires being attempts to defraud the
insurance industry. The savings to the industry is in excess of $14 million. Several recent reward
recipients have helped stop serial arson issues in their cities!
