Who We Are:

The Retired Fire & Police Association of San Diego was incorporated on April 19, 1948. The goals of our organization are to:

* Advance the social and economic welfare of it's members;

* Encourage and demonstrate respect for our country and it's flag, and to defend the honor of our country and it's constitution;

* Foster fraternal relationships between members and the department from which they retired;

* Represent all members when their rights and welfare are under discussion;

* Provide comfort and assistance to members and their families in times of need.

Membership in the Retired Fire and Police Association is open to retired sworn members of the San Diego Fire and Police Departments, who retired for service or disability. Only about one-half of those eligible have joined the Association! If you are eligible and have not yet joined, we encourage you to become a member.

The Retired Fire and Police Association has worked with Firefighters Local 145 and the Police Officer's Association to obtain better benefits for you and will continue to do so. As a member of the Association, you have access to the roster of members (listing names, addresses and phone numbers) and four newsletters a year. This web site is kept up-to-date with the latest information.

Association dues are $24.00 per year, payable at $2.00 each month through payroll deduction. You can print out an application from this web site or contact the Secretary for an application form.

In the past few years, working with the Retired General Employees and the City, we have obtained several improvements in benefits. This includes paid health care for pre-1980 retirees, an increase in the retiree death benefit from $400 to $2,000, and the 75% C.O.L.A. or Purchasing Power Protection Agreement for retirees.
