The PPOA Board of Directors has once again unanimously voted to endorse Captain Shawn Kehoe. He has also received the endorsement of ALADS. The 24-year LASD veteran has been a staunch advocate for Safety members in protecting our pensions, fighting for retirement benefits, and safeguarding our retirement system in the midst of pension reform laws that have negatively impacted other retirement systems throughout California.
