Who We Are

A nonprofit, member-owned benefit trust governed by public safety professionals

Our Mission

The Public Safety Benefit Association (PSBA) is a nonprofit, member-owned benefit trust created specifically for California's public safety professionals. We exist to provide affordable protection and comprehensive benefits that traditional organizations like CLEA and PORAC don't offer.

As a member-owned trust, every decision we make is guided by the needs and interests of our members. We are governed by active and retired public safety professionals who understand the unique challenges and risks faced by those who dedicate their lives to protecting our communities.

Our commitment is simple: to provide the protection and peace of mind that public safety professionals deserve, at prices they can afford, with benefits designed by people who truly understand their needs.

Our Values

Protection First

We prioritize comprehensive protection for those who protect others

Member-Owned

Governed by and for public safety professionals, not outside interests

Transparency

Clear, honest communication about benefits, costs, and coverage

Service

Dedicated to serving those who serve our communities every day

Leadership

PSBA is governed by a board of trustees comprised entirely of active and retired public safety professionals from across California. Our leadership team includes representatives from law enforcement, fire services, emergency dispatch, and civilian support staff.

This unique governance structure ensures that every decision is made with a deep understanding of the challenges, risks, and needs specific to public safety work. Unlike traditional insurance companies or benefit providers, our leaders have walked in your shoes and understand what real protection means.

Our commitment to member governance means that as PSBA grows, our members will have increasing input into the direction of the organization, the benefits we offer, and the policies that guide our operations.
