When she became a Police Clerk in Records with Santa Maria Police Department in 1968, Joanne Hopkins had no idea that she would later go on to help form an organization that would support and train California Records Personnel for years to come.

It is with a heavy heart that CLEARS reports the loss of our former State President from 1986, Carol Mosconi.

In the ever-evolving landscape of law enforcement, staying informed and connected is paramount. With the launch of the CLEARS website, a new era is set, ushering in a host of features designed to empower and enrich our members’ professional journey.

In a gesture that reflects both gratitude and recognition, CLEARS proudly announces the establishment of the Joe Surges Seminar Scholarship.

We invite you to be a part of our storytelling community! Your voice matters, and we’re excited to showcase the many accomplishments and experiences within our association.
