$72 per member per year for RAM LDF firearms coverage

PORAC’s Bylaws require that retired members retain membership in order to continue on with their access to PORAC insurance products and legal defense coverage. Retired Associate Membership (RAM) also provides an avenue by which retired law enforcement and public safety officers can continue to influence legislation and social policy related to the profession. PORAC’s interests in California are advocated for by the firm of Aaron Read and Associates, while the firm of Steptoe & Johnson advocates federally on PORAC’s behalf. Both firms understand, and aggressively protect, the interests of retired peace officers, along with those still actively working. Retired Associate Members may also be able to take advantage of low-cost health, dental, vision, long-term care and other types of insurance coverage with access to PORAC’s Insurance and Benefits Trust (IBT), where RAM is represented with its own trustee. Additionally, members of RAM also have access to PORAC’s Legal Defense Fund (LDF), where they may purchase plan coverage related to the carrying/use of their CCW.
