Joe Surges

Legislative Rep.

Legislation has a direct effect on the jobs we perform daily in law enforcement. It is important to keep yourself aware of these changes. To learn more, our CLEARS Legislative Representative is working hard to keep the members of our organization on top of the daily events.

But that's not all our legislative teams can do. A single letter of recommendation to the CLEARS State Executive Board recommending legislation changes in any area of law enforcement records can make a difference for everyone.  Your effort in taking a moment to draft a letter and participating in the efforts to change help legislators could have a positive impact in the future development of your position or the future records personnel in California.  Be sure to contact your Chapter legislation representatives or the State CLEARS Legislative Representative today.
