LASPA members are always provided with a licensed attorney that specializes in police issues for every shooting, internal affairs interview and/or grievance, no matter how big or small. LASPA does not use unit representatives and never will. In matters unrelated to employment, members can choose highly-qualified counsel from our panel of attorneys at law, at a reduced rate.
LASPA members can depend on payroll reimbursement for lost wages, (up to 30 days) in the event of an administrative suspension without pay. Please refer to our representation agreement for further details or contact one of our staff members.
For our sworn members and those civilian positions that work closely with the public (e.g., Security Officer, Custody Assistant, etc.), Your dues include enrollment in our Criminal Defense Plan, which provides members with legal defense costs, including attorney fees, in the event that a criminal case is brought against them related to on-duty conduct.
LASPA members can conveniently view our annual financial reports. Our financial records illustrate how our members’ money is being spent. We believe in full transparency; in fact, it is part of our mission statement. If you are interested in reviewing our financial reports, please contact our office and staff will be happy to assist you.
LASPA directors and bylaws are regulated by its entire membership and, to ensure the utmost integrity, outside independent agencies provide additional regulatory oversight. LASPA Board of Directors volunteer their time to serve in their appointed positions.
