Interactive Memberships

Donate to P.O.C. so we can continue fighting for your Rights:

MEMBERSHIPS

The P.O.C. dues structure is very reasonable, providing affordable quality services. Once the severance process is complete the dues structure will be altered, but it is still guaranteed to be less than your current CSLEA dues with no loss of services.

MEMBERS are peace officers, as defined by 830 PC, employed within the State of California and represented by the current bargaining unit 7, or a retired annuitant. Dues are $30.00 per month, including Legal Defense and access to all other member benefits. Full members have full voting rights.

LIMITED MEMBERS are the same as full members but do not receive Legal Defense – choose this membership level if you currently receive Legal Defense elsewhere. Dues are $15 per month. Limited members have full voting rights.

ASSOCIATE MEMBERS are peace officers in any class noted above not represented by bargaining unit 7. Dues are $25.00 per month, including Legal Defense and access to all other member benefits. Associate members may not vote on contract issues or those involving P.O.C. management.

RETIRED MEMBERS are any retired peace officer. They are eligible for limited benefits such as group insurance and other discounts. Dues are $10.00 per month. Retired members have no voting rights.

HONORARY MEMBERS are people who show a particular interest in promoting the objectives of the Association. The P.O.C. Board of Directors shall select honorary members, who will not vote, pay dues, nor receive benefits.

CORPORATE MEMBERS are those companies which affiliate themselves with P.O.C. and who agree to pay a corporate rate, determined by the P.O.C. Board of Directors. Corporate members have no vote nor do they receive benefits except Corporate Members may advertise and link their company on the P.O.C. web site. Corporate members shall benefit from their corporate status as seen fit by the P.O.C. Board of Directors.

How are Memberships Different?

Peace Officers of California (P.O.C.) will create encrypted interactive on-line user profiles for every member.  Each member will be assigned an ID# and Password that will allow them to activate their membership.  Personal information will not be linked to your membership and it will not be part of your ID# or password. Instead, when a member changes information content, a notification will be sent to P.O.C. staff and they will manually make the changes within a short time period (24-to-48) hours on a separate off-line system located within a secure facility. Members will also get the use of their very own name@peaceofficers.org e-mail address as part of their membership. Our systems are rated HIPPA and Sarbanes-Oxley  compliant for the secure transfer of confidential information.

That way you can select what type of additional or reduced benefits you want to pay for.  Imagine being able to look at what your dues are and changing your settings, with respect to insurance or other benefits, whenever and wherever you want.  We will allow you to customize your membership in every way including receiving union updates and notices – get everything, just your affiliate news, or receive only high-level alerts via e-mail, text message, or good old fashion mail.

For those of you who want to manually change your membership status options we will have a live operator take and respond to your needs. 

We will post schedules, meeting notes, vote records and financial documents and allow for any member to submit questions to the P.O.C. Board for response – you cannot do any of that at CAUSE / CSLEA.  Where are their vote records, meeting minutes, financial documents and rules?

This is about money, but not just for pay increases.  The President of CAUSE / CSLEA thinks your dues money is his money.  He does not want to give up his stipend, car, insurance, gas card, and unlimited expense account – we say unlimited because nobody knows  how much money he has been paid.  P.O.C. members have asked for vote records and other documents regarding the use of nearly $60,000 to no avail.  Maybe you should ask?

P.O.C. will be a new type of union.  One established on democratic principles and transparency.  15-years of the same leadership’s bad decision making and the pay disparity between bargaining unit 7 members and other peace officers has never been worse.

Whom do you think the Governor or the Legislature is more likely to give a pay increase in tough times – P.O.C. CAUSE / CSLEA?
