The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) is the police union representing Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers up to the rank of lieutenant.[1] LAPPL has a membership of 9,900 sworn officers.[2]

The LAPPL serves to protect the interests of LAPD officers through lobbying, legislative and legal advocacy, political action and education. LAPPL has long supported more traditional law-and-order policies.[3] As of 2020, LAPPL is currently led by Craig Lally, President, and Jerretta Sandoz, Vice President.[4]
