Border Patrol Agents Legal Defense and Relief Fund
Thursday, 14 August 2008

The Border Patrol Agents Legal Defense and Relief Fund (BPALDRF) is designed to assist Border Patrol employees who find themselves in financial distress as a result of an unwarranted criminal, civil, and/or administrative action brought against them as result of any act or omission within the scope of their employment. This fund is separate from the Police Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) Legal Defense Fund which is provided to all members of the National Border Patrol Council.

The fund may be used to assist such employees with attorney fees, living expenses, and general financial needs. Tax exempt status (501 (c)(3)) status has been granted to the fund effective 11/16/06.
