Since 1919, the Los Angeles Police Relief Association, Inc. (LAPRA) has been providing benefits and support for members of the Los Angeles Police Department. LAPRA offers and administers medical and dental plans to active and retired Los Angeles Police Officers and their families. LAPRA also provides its members life insurance, off-duty disability benefits, sick benefits and additional support in times of need and crisis.
Recruits employed by the City of Los Angeles to become sworn police officers in the Los Angeles Police Department are eligible for LAPRA membership.
You will be automatically enrolled in LAPRA membership upon your initial hiring as a new recruit by the City of Los Angeles. Your membership benefits are effective on your date of hire. You can cancel your membership any time after you are sworn in.
