The Brother/Sisterhood Remains …
We are the Alliance for Retired Law Enforcement Officers, a premier organization here to recognize you as the noble sheep dog; forever keeping the wolf from harming our most vulnerable. Here at ARELO, we value the service of Law Enforcement by simply “Protecting Your Future Beyond the Badge”.
Formerly, you served as the warrior guardian for the better part of your life, and now that you have retired does not mean you should be forgotten or any less appreciated. ARLEO is here to afford you the proper respect and legal protection, should you find the need to take action in an attempt to protect the good from evil!

Here at ARLEO …
We have created a program that will continue to offer many [or more] association benefits that you enjoyed during your active Law Enforcement years. We believe, just because you’ve retired, you should not lose the incredible benefits and perks your active law enforcement associations provided during your active years of service.
A Message from the President
At the International Union of Police Associations member care is paramount. With that being stated, we realized that upon retirement we often lose the special relationships developed through years of service. We researched, analyzed, and most importantly we listened to the retiree – to you. Ultimately we discovered that many retirees would embrace the opportunity to “stay in the loop”; to continue to be an appreciated and participating part of the family. Also, many retirees have requested that we find a way to protect them, should they choose to carry a sidearm after retirement.
I am proud to say this program answers the call… The Alliance For Retired Law Enforcement Officers [ARLEO] will be there for you [the retiree] long after your well-earned retirement. We are looking forward to continuing a long standing appreciation of your service and protecting you, should you have the need. Uniquely we were able to partner with an abundancy of organizations to offer great benefits and programs at an unbeatable annual rate.
- ARLEO Premier Plan: $125.00 Per Year: Eligibility Requirement: Any individual who has retired as a sworn law enforcement officer in good standing shall be eligible to become a member. This membership type does not come with coverage under PORAC’s Legal Defense Fund (“LDF”).
- ARLEO Premier Plan “PLUS”: $195 Per Year: Eligibility Requirement: Any individual who has retired as a sworn law enforcement officer in good standing shall be eligible to become a member. This membership type does come with coverage under PORAC’s Legal Defense Fund (“LDF”).
Eligibility Requirement: This membership type comes with coverage under PORAC’s Legal Defense Fund (“LDF”). The LDF provides legal representation: (1) in any civil or criminal action brought against an eligible retiree arising from the use of a firearm in defense of self or others where an imminent threat of serious bodily harm to self or others is present; (2) in any criminal action brought against an eligible retiree arising from the possession of a concealed firearm that is not precluded under local law.
Both of these plans mean that you have access to Union Plus Benefits, including many discounts on goods and services and insurance opportunities you often use. We also provide you a voice in Washington, D.C. in matters impacting our retirees, like medical care, retirement issues and laws affecting your right to carry a concealed weapon.
We hope you will join us and your fellow retired Law Enforcement Officers and stay abreast of current events and political issues that impact your retirement years as we find and distribute news articles from around the nation that will be of interest to our members. Gain the legal protection you need in the event that you become involved in an event involving your firearm.
As an ARLEO member, you are invited to attend all International Union of Police Association Conventions.
We believe that while you may have moved out of the house, you are still, very much, a part of the Law Enforcement family.
Sam A. Cabral
International President
