PORAC was founded in 1953 as a professional federation of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. PORAC represents over 940 associations and more than 75,000 public safety members. We are the largest statewide association representing public safety personnel in the nation. Our duty is to provide Californians with the safety and security they need to feel protected in their homes and on our streets. It is PORAC’s mission to identify the public safety needs in our communities and provide programs to adequately meet those changing needs.
