Which Best Describes You?

Existing RPA members should activate their transferred account rather than submitting a new membership application. New members can begin a membership application below.

Already an RPA Member?

Your Membership Is Already Here.

If you were an RPA member before the new website launched, your existing membership was moved into the new RPA system.

Do not submit another membership application.

For your first login, activate your account or reset your password. You will receive an email allowing you to create your password.

Did You and Your Spouse Share One Email Address?

RPA's previous membership system allowed a husband, wife or other member of the same household to use the same email address.

The new system requires each member to have their own unique email address. Shared addresses may therefore need to be updated before membership accounts can be accessed.

If your old shared email is not recognized, your membership has not been lost and you should not apply again.

Call the RPA office at (516) 294-4488 so we can help update your account.

Not Currently an RPA Member?

Become Part of the Statewide RPA Community.

RPA membership is available to eligible retired police officers who served in police departments within New York State.

Your current residence does not determine eligibility. Retired New York officers remain part of the RPA community whether they now live in New York, Florida, the Carolinas or elsewhere.

Join fellow retired officers from departments throughout New York State and stay connected to the advocacy, information and issues that affect your retirement.

You served in New York. RPA is here to represent that statewide retired police community.

Existing & Special Membership Classifications

Widows, Surviving Spouses & Board Members

Some RPA membership classifications require assistance from the RPA office rather than a standard online application.

Widow / Surviving Spouse

If you already have an RPA widow or surviving-spouse membership, do not apply again. Use the account-activation process above.

If a widow or surviving-spouse membership needs to be established or corrected, please contact the RPA office so the proper membership status can be assigned.

Call (516) 294-4488

RPA Board Members

Existing board members should activate their existing RPA account rather than creating a new membership.

Board-member classifications are maintained by RPA. If your account does not reflect the correct status, please contact the RPA office.

Membership Dues

Two Ways to Pay Your RPA Membership Dues

New regular members can choose the payment arrangement that works best for them.

Auto Pay

Authorize RPA to automatically charge your approved payment method when future annual membership dues become due.

Manual Payment

Pay your dues yourself each year when your renewal is due. You may still pay online by credit card. Nothing is automatically charged.

Paying once by credit card does not enroll you in Auto Pay. Recurring payments occur only when you specifically choose and authorize the Auto Pay option.
