Established 1951. Proudly representing more than 8,900 active & retired L.A. County law enforcement employees.
In December 1951, a small but steadfast group of deputy sheriffs, county marshals and district attorney investigators gathered in downtown L.A. at the Hall of Justice for an urgent discussion. With a commitment to band together to protect their rights and improve their careers, they formed PPOA. Their association swiftly become one of the state’s largest and most influential law enforcement unions. From legislation to contract negotiations to labor representation, generations of PPOA members have benefitted from the determined work of their union brethren and a proven record of success.
The Los Angeles County Professional Peace Officers Association is committed to continuing a “Tradition of Success” in serving a satisfied membership through an effective and expanding professional association. We are a proactive and imaginative organization working in union with employers and other professional groups for necessary changes in policies, laws and legislation that are conducive to the wellbeing of our members. We will promote the professional interests of our members and the law enforcement community by protecting and enhancing their individual and collective rights.
