Great News: Enroll in New 401(k) Starting Jan. 2, 2026

December 9, 2025 by Greg Torres

Attention Active PPOA Members:

We are very pleased to report that active PPOA members will be eligible to enroll in a new 401(k) Savings Plan for Los Angeles County employees, starting January 2, 2026. This important new benefit is the result of fringe benefits contract negotiations between the Coalition of County Unions (CCU)* and LA County executives.

If you are already participating in the 457(b) Horizons Plan, this additional plan is a good way to further supplement your retirement savings strategy and take advantage of even more tax-deferred savings. 

 Enrolling in the 401(k) Savings Plan is simple: 

  • Beginning January 2nd, visit www.countyla.com. 
  • Click on “Register” on the home page and follow the prompts.

If you need help with enrollment, click here to view a list of upcoming 401(k) Savings Enrollment virtual webinars or speak to an Empower representative for assistance at (800) 947-0845. 

For details about contribution limits, please click here.

*The CCU represents 15 labor organizations, including PPOA, with more than 30,000 union members employed by the County and is their unified voice on health insurance, vacation pay, retirement and more.

In Solidarity,

Steve Johnson, President

Los Angeles County Professional Peace Officers Association

PPOA Unit 621 Board Election Results

October 22, 2025 by Greg Torres

The official ballot count results below were tabulated by an independent election firm (Integrated Labor Solutions) and confirmed by a committee of PPOA members on November 20, 2025:

PPOA members who are Sheriff Security Officers (SSOs) and Sheriff Security Assistants (SSAs) have elected SSO Vardan Kasabyan to represent Unit 621 on the board of directors for this Association. He will be sworn in to his two-year term at the board meeting on December 10, 2025.

Between this extremely close race and the tie that resulted in a runoff election for Custody Assistants earlier this year, it is clear that every vote matters in union elections. 

Special thanks to all PPOA members who took the time to cast their ballot online and to the following members who volunteered to serve on the election committee and verify the results on Thursday: 

  • Lieutenant Yvette Hartwell
  • Sergeant Jose Rios
  • Law Enforcement Technician Kelly Walper
