The Florida Police Benevolent Association is a state-wide police union established in 1972,[1] with a reported total membership of over 36,000.[2]

The union is "politically proactive", engaged in labor negotiations, advocacy, legal defense, and political endorsements. It's organized into regional chapters: the South Florida PBA, with 6,500 members from over 40 agencies;[3] the Big Bend PBA, with almost 500 members;[4] West Central Florida BPA;[5] the Broward County PBA;[6] and others.

The FBPA is one of several significant state-wide police unions which are "dominant in all but the largest cities". Others are in California, Texas, Wisconsin, New York, and New Jersey.[7]
