Teamsters Law Enforcement League

Just so everyone knows, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents law enforcement officers. This is not new, just not very well known. The Teamsters will agressively represent it's members. Teamsters Local 385, http://www.local385.org has represented police officers and deputy sheriff's for well over ten years. Local 385 employs active and retired law enforcement officers as business agents to better represent it's members. These business agents have considerable experience in representing officers/deputies in internal affairs investigations and the disciplinary process. If your agency is not represented, or you are considering making a change, please contact the Teamsters. Teamsters has a hundred year history of representing members to improve wages, hours, and working conditions, no other union can say that.

The civilians at our department are represented by the Teamsters and I can't say Teamsters has done very much for us. Our Business Agents have been more interested in how many people can be inticed into the Teamsters and how far up the ladder the agents can climb. We had one business agent keep telling us "he was the gun, we were the bullets". Well, we gave him lots of "bullets" and all he ever did was shoot us in the back. He is now president of Local 769...big deal!!
