Benefits that make a difference
The PBPA offers the following benefits to its members.
Death Benefits
Each of our active and retired lifetime members are covered under a death benefit policy. Call the Springfield Office at (217) 523-5141 for further information.
Hobart "Curley" Rogers Scholarship Fund
Children of our active, social and retired lifetime members are welcome to apply for the college scholarship that was established in 1995. The scholarship is $1,000.00 for 4 consecutive school years if the student maintains the minimum required credit hours and GPA.
Youth Grants
Each of our Units is encouraged to request a Youth Grant to help them reach the youth in their local community. The local units can request up to $1,000.00 each year. In the past some of our Units have used the grants to help support little league teams, Shop with a Cop Programs, Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets, and a giveaway of flashlights for safe trick-or-treating.
Legal Defense Fund
PBPA members in good standing can also apply for the Legal Defense Fund which is a pre-paid, pre-planned legal service plan coordinated by the PBLC.
NAPO
Each of our members - through their membership in the PBPA of IL - are also members of the National Association of Police Organizations. More information is available on their website at www.napo.org.
