About PLEA
Our mission is to provide legal defense and other benefits to our members with professionalism and real service, at fair and affordable prices, so every member feels PLEA is their partner in serving the men and women of law enforcement.
Independent legal defense for law enforcement officers.
PLEA is a non-profit based in Rochester, Michigan, with members nationwide. We’re not tied to any union or lodge, so your coverage follows you from agency to agency and into retirement. And even when a department or union provides a lawyer, PLEA makes sure you have an attorney of your own.
What we stand for
Professional at every step
Every member gets the same professional standard, from the first call through the end of their case.
Service that’s easy
Friendly, helpful people and a simple process, so you can stay focused on your work and your family.
Fair, affordable prices
PLEA is a non-profit. Coverage is priced so every officer can afford to protect themselves.
