Our most important function is obtaining legislation supporting officers' rights, working conditions, wages and any other areas of concern. PBA protects you politically from any and all sources which attack your salaries, pensions and working conditions.
The Florida PBA maintains a professional team of lobbyists who aggressively fight for legislation beneficial to ALL law enforcement and corrections officers. Throughout each year, your legislative team drafts new legislation, seeks sponsors for new legislation and continuously urges pro-law enforcement/corrections legislation for adoption. We have established a PAC account and a CCE account, to which a total of 75 cents of each member's dues every month is deposited for the purpose of contributing to political candidates and for maintaining a strong political voice with pro-low enforcement/corrections legislators. In addition, every two years, extensive political screening is done throughout the State to ensure that pro-law enforcement/corrections legislators are elected.
Between legislative sessions, the PBA has continuous contact with legislators, providing them with up-to-date information on law enforcement and corrections issues.
