For decades, the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) has strongly and proudly represented law enforcement, public safety and consumer protection professionals who work for the state of California.
Now the group Police Officers of California (POC) has initiated a campaign with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) to decertify CSLEA as your exclusive bargaining agent.
In our attempt to keep you informed and to clarify the misinformation that is being emailed, mailed and placed in social media, we have provided the easy links below. We hope you will take time to educate yourself about CSLEA and its benefits and why POC/AFSCME is not right for CSLEA members.
