Insurance
All active LAAPOA members receive a paid City Employees Club of Los Angeles membership. The club connects City employees through a network of information and discounted products such as theme park and movie tickets. Members also have access to group-rated insurance products.
PORAC Insurance and Benefits Trust
LAAPOA members are granted free membership in the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC), which offers a number of insurance options and benefits.
Retiree Medical Trust
PORAC’s Retiree Medical Trust (RMT) is a health care pre-funding vehicle that is funded by defined contributions set in the labor agreement and provides a stream of monthly payments for life, for those who meet the eligibility rules.
Short- and Long-Term Life and AD&D Needs
Available through our membership in PORAC, these plans are administered by Myers, Stevenson & Toohey, which has countless years of serving its clients.
Long-Term-Care Plan
All active members receive the optional initial benefit amount of $1,000 per month in coverage from the City Employees Club of Los Angeles.
Banking
LAAPOA is partnered with several banks to offer the best service to its members, including Citibank and the Los Angeles Police Federal Credit Union. These full-service banks have been in business for years and have sound track records. Among the benefits offered are checking and savings, real estate loans, Internet banking, debt consolidation, direct deposit, low-interest credit cards and auto loans.
Accounting
Since 1941, Miller, Kaplan, Arase & Co., LLP, has been committed to providing clients with the highest level of personal service and attention. So it only makes good sense to ensure that LAAPOA maintains an accurate account of its funds.
Investing
LAAPOA has partnered with UBS Financial Services, drawing on its 150-year heritage to serve private, institutional and corporate clients worldwide by combining wealth management, investment banking and asset management businesses to deliver superior financial advice and solutions. LAAPOA members have access to the UBS wealth management team to assist with any investment needs.
Communication
All members receive complimentary copies of the print BOLO newsletter, providing timely updates on law enforcement issues and association news. In addition, members receive, at no cost, the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) monthly publication, PORAC Law Enforcement News, which contains information on statewide legislative issues, reports from the Legal Defense Fund, member association news and career-related articles.
Retired Associate Membership Program
LAAPOA’s Retired Associate Membership Program is now available to retired LAAPOA members who want to retain their membership in the association and continue to have access to the association’s extensive member benefits, including legal defense and insurance coverage provided through PORAC membership. This benefit will also now be extended to any individual who has retired in good standing from their law enforcement agency and wishes to become a LAAPOA associate member. Learn more »
