Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas,
CLEAT, is the force through which the rights and interests of working law enforcement professionals in Texas are secured and defended.
From www.CLEAT.org
Our mission is to ensure that all of our members receive all the rights, protections and respect they deserve for their role in enforcing the laws of Texas and protecting the lives and property of its citizens.
More specifically, our organization will work tirelessly to make sure that every Texas law enforcement professional:
- Receives the full support of his or her employer;
- Works under conditions that permit the job to be done
safely and effectively, and
-
Earns fair compensation
The way we do this is by providing legal representation, political action, field service representation for bargaining and negotiating support and a range of related services. With almost 15,000 members across the state, CLEAT is the largest police officers’ union in Texas, the largest legal services provider in the state specializing in representing law enforcement officers, and the largest confederation of local police officers’ associations in Texas. More important, we possess the experience, resources and the will to remain a greater force for law enforcement professionals in Texas.
Membership in CLEAT is open to:
- Licensed Texas peace officers
- Full-time correction officers employed by a political subdivision of the state
- Other public safety employees approved by the CLEAT board of directors
