Legal defense

[txleo-3]

I am in texas. I am looking into TMPA and CLEAT. everything i am reading seems to be very similar. Any suggestions? Anyone had dealings with either one?

I'm a member of TMPA but I've never had to use them....could of used them in the past but I wasn't a member at the time. I have a buddy who uses CLEAT and seems to think highly of them over TMPA (and he was a 15 year member of TMPA). I don't remember his reasoning but you should do thorough research prior to making your decision.

Not Sure if it is available in your area, try PLEA....they have a web site. it is www.plea.net

I, along with other fellow officers are members of PLEA. Infact, a local PD here in Nebraska dropped their FOP membership and joined PLEA. The costs of the FOP got too high.

[JSD73]

Don't know if PLEA is available in Texas...doesn't appear to be.

TMPA costs 23 bucks a month...has 1 million dollars worth of legal coverage...if your rep doesn't show up in 30 minutes after you call him/her you get $500 bucks in your pocket...they do salary surverys, and a host of other things.

I have been a card carrying member of CLEAT since the day I stepped out of the academy. Compairing CLEAT to TMPA is like compairing Fords to Chevys. The most important thing is that you get on board with SOMEONE! Good luck in your choosing.
