When I was a young deputy sheriff, I didn’t think much about retirement. But as time passed, I realized how important it is to prepare for it. One of the things on my “to-do list” is to schedule an appointment with LACERA to ensure a smooth transition into the next chapter of my life. After committing 26 years to LASD, planning for when it’s time to hang up my badge, like many of you, will be essential. Read More

PPOA is honored to announce we will assist Custody Training and Standards Bureau with a BBQ fundraiser this Tuesday (9/26) at BC. Please join us to support the Clinkunbroomer family.
Each year, the third week in September is recognized as National Security Officer Appreciation Week. As that week comes to a close, PPOA would like to take a moment to acknowledge the work ethic and professionalism of Sheriff's Security Officers and Security Assistants throughout Los Angeles County.
This evening, we received the heart-wrenching news of the tragic, line-of-duty death of Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer. The 30-year-old deputy was shot early this evening while sitting in his patrol car at an intersection near Palmdale Station. He was found just before 6:00 p.m. and transported by paramedics to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The suspect remains at large.
"The heinous and cowardly murder of this young deputy is overwhelmingly tragic," said PPOA President Nancy Escobedo. "Our thoughts immediately turn to his family as we express our heartfelt condolences for their unimaginable loss."
National Police Woman Day is celebrated each year on September 12th and PPOA is honored to acknowledge women across the nation who serve as dedicated public safety professionals.
At 8:46 a.m. (EDT) on this date 22 years ago, our nation endured the first of a series of unspeakable acts of terrorism that claimed the lives of 2,997 Americans. We will always remember the fallen and honor the 343 firefighters, 60 peace officers and countless civilians who died while courageously charging in to save others on that fateful day.
We extend our sincere condolences to the families and friends of the following PPOA members who passed in July 2023:
Custody Assistant Arthur Luna — 7/1/23
