No, Air Traffic Controller is not considered a Public Safety Officer.
For taxation purposes, a Public Safety Officer (PSO) is defined as: "an individual serving a public agency in an official capacity, with or without compensation, as a law enforcement officer, as a firefighter, as a chaplain, or as a member of a rescue squad or ambulance crew."
