U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION

Since the tragedy of September 11 and the announcement of President George W. Bush on December 22, 2001, to boost spending on domestic U.S. homeland security by at least $15 Billion in his next budget, private security companies must take a much more serious look at the need for upgrading this industry.

Security Officers nationwide must be organized, better trained and committed to a higher standard of providing private security to our nation's corporate offices, Federal and private properties and assets and the general public.

The industry has exploded in recent years for private security. There is an estimated one to two million law enforcement professionals in some 13,000 private security companies today, and some say that there are twice as many private security officers as police officers. The number of security professionals in the industry has grown nearly 20% in the last ten years, and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it will increase another 21-35% by 2009 as companies beef up security to allay fears of crime, vandalism, and terrorism.

With homeland security at high alert the of U.S. Department of Homeland Security Officers Association has officially notified the United States Department of labor of our existence as an association to assist in helping security professionals in obtaining national collective bargaining rights with their employer and to act as a strong voice in Washington D.C. in establishing national training standards nationwide.

Our mission is to unite the millions of security professionals nationwide in having a strong voice in Washington D.C.

To assist security police professionals in forming a union to protect their rights and job security.

To assist security police professionals in obtaining affordable benefits for them and their families through collective bargaining and other means.

To bring awareness to the fact that security police professionals are the FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE in a terrorist attack, which means we stand for better training, higher wages, better benefits and less turnover to ensure our safety and the safety of the United States of America.

SECURITY GUARD BENEFITS

In response to current economic conditions and the plight of working families in the United States, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Police Officers Association ( DHSPOA ) recently sought out benefit programs that would help Security Police Professionals Nationwide. One such program we found was the UNION PLUS BENEFITS PROGRAM.

Union Plus is brought to you by Union Privilege,established by the AFL-CIO to provide consumer benefits to
members and retirees of participating AFL-CIO labor unions.

Because the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Police Officers Association ( DHSPOA) is not a labor organization we have made special arrangements for DHSPOA members to participate in the UNION PLUS BENEFITS PROGRAM through the United Steelworkers of America's Associate Member program.

A real advantage that union members have always enjoyed is a package of comprehensive benefits for themselves and their families.

Now DHSPOA Members can join the Steelworkers as an Associate Member and get access to union-only benefits like confidential workplace assistance, health care savings, job training and educational opportunities, and other features designed to safeguard workers’ rights and protect you families’ economic future. You’ll also be eligible for discounts on travel, entertainment, rental cars, computers, wireless service and much more

You’ll join over 500,000 other Steelworkers in fighting to advance the well-being of ordinary citizens across the country. You’ll become a part of a powerful force that will give students, working people and the middle-class the clout to go head-to-head with the corporate special interests that now dominate our country.

You’ll help build a dynamic new movement to organize statewide and national campaigns to end the senseless exportingn jobs, form "blue-green" (labor and environmental) alliances, guarantee healthcare, press for fair treatment of working families everywhere and a whole lot more.

The USW has been at the forefront of the fight against the abuses of corporate power that have robbed working people of their retirement savings and outsourced American jobs. We have a long and proud tradition of allying with progressive forces for economic and social justice around the world.

This category of membership represents a new direction in the labor movement. For the better part of a century, American trade union membership has been limited to workers in designated collective bargaining units. Now, the Steelworkers are opening our ranks to anyone who shares our commitment to the welfare’s working people.

Many of these union benefits can be yours even if you don’t work in a union shop – and even if you currently don’t have a job! Below are some of the benefits they have to offer.* Pre-paid legal benefits reqiure monthly fee and is provided by a third party not associated with Union Plus Benefit Package
