A PBA (Police Benevolent Association) is similar to a union or "bargaining unit." PBA representatives often negotiate labor contracts, advise and protect the rights of officers accused of misconduct, and assist the families of officers who are killed or injured in the line of duty. Membership in the PBA is restricted to law enforcement officers. Most PBA union-representatives are police officers themselves who either volunteer their time or who are allowed to devote a proportion of their paid time on duty to PBA affairs. PBAs may hirecivilian employees who have no police powers, but their duties are usually clerical or administrative. A few may be attorneys, but they are not usually police officers.
