POLICE BENEVOLENT &
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
The Police Benevolent & Protective Association (P.B. & P.A.) of Illinois was founded in 1936 and is the largest downstate police association consisting of approximately 195 units.  These units could be one man police departments up to over a thousand.  The association was originated to safe guard police pensions and to lobby for passing legislation for the betterment of all law enforcement officers.

The DeKalb P.B.&P.A. Unit #71 was founded for the same reasons but it also was organized to be a charitable arm of the DeKalb Police Department, which the organization donates most of its time as of 1986.  Below are several charities it has assisted over the years.
