What our members are saying

Having CLEAT by your side and taking a portion of the load off your mind is priceless. My family, friends and I endured a five-day trial with a cost that you could buy a house with. The sense of relief when the verdict came back as not guilty on all counts was more than I can describe… CLEAT continued as they immediately had my license reinstated so that I could get back to work. I have taught most of my career and tell every new and seasoned officer that you can not be in this profession without CLEAT on your team.

In 2014, the Temple Police Association was formed with the guidance and advice of CLEAT to improve various issues members were having within the police department. CLEAT was instrumental in organizing the TPA by creating by-laws and a constitution to get our association started. Within a year, CLEAT began helping and educating us about Meet & Confer and represented us at City Council. Meet & Confer was adopted, and CLEAT has gone to the table with us to successfully negotiate agreements that have resulted in better benefits and pay raises of more than 30% from where we were before Meet & Confer. CLEAT definitely "has our six.”

For the last four years, through one of the most difficult seasons of my life, CLEAT Law Enforcement Legal Defense has stood beside me every step of the way. Their support didn’t end when the headlines faded, it continues to this very day. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for CLEAT. They didn’t just provide legal protection; they provided reassurance, guidance, and the confidence that I wasn’t facing this battle alone. Knowing there was a team committed to protecting officers and ensuring we had the resources to defend ourselves made an immeasurable difference. To every law enforcement officer, I can’t stress enough how important it is to have strong legal defense coverage before you ever need it. You hope you’ll never have to use it, but if that day ever comes, you’ll be thankful you made that investment. Thank you to everyone at CLEAT for your professionalism, your unwavering support, and for standing with me through the toughest chapter of my career. I will never forget it.

Thank you for the support even though it wasn't a critical incident. It means a lot knowing that there is compassion and willingness to help when a previous organization made you feel like a waste of their time! Both attorneys I've talked to with CLEAT have made me feel welcomed as a member.
