President

Brian Marvel

  • President’s Message - July 2021
    For this month’s message, I want to provide you with an update on the work PORAC is doing on the legislative front, reinforce the value of PORAC’s trusts that all members should be taking advantage of and share with you some of the work we are doing to proactively promote the PORAC brand in California and also nationally.
Vice President

Damon Kurtz

  • Vice President’s Message - July 2021
    This year has been one of the busiest in PORAC’s history when it comes to bills in the California Legislature. We began the year with over 40 bills with an “active oppose” designation, meaning we actively engage on the bill to seek amendments or have the bill terminate before becoming law. With the legislative session at the halfway mark, we have successfully cut more than half of those bills from our active oppose list.
Treasurer

Timothy Davis

  • Treasurer’s Message - July 2021
    Happy Independence Day. July 4, 1776, commemorated the Declaration of Independence of the United States. The Continental Congress declared that the 13 American colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, and were now united, free and independent states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Legislative Alert

ACTION ALERT! – TELL YOUR LEGISLATORS TO OPPOSE SB 2

You can help to oppose Senate Bill 2 – dangerous legislation that would not only create an unfair and unreliable process for revoking an officer’s license to practice law enforcement but also reaches far beyond police licensing to include policies that would place even the most respectful officers at risk of being personally liable for […] Read More »
