Click on [Resources], then click on [Retired Chaplains].
The Best place to start is call or email a Chaplain. They can get the process started. This also provides a means for the Department to come out with an official notification to active and retired members.
However, some family members do not want the “official” notification. In that case, contact one of the LACOFD Retiree’s Association board members to let us know please. Use the [Contact Us] link
We do recommend going through the Chaplain’s office to make it official. I know your family member would probably want his/her old friends to know about his passing. But it’s a family decision.
Send them here, to our website: LACoFDRetirees.org , or cut out our application on page 9 of Broken Streams, or take a picture of the application on page 9 and text it to them. Everything they need to know is on the application. There an online application under [Membership]
Note: The Department doesn’t notify us about new retirees. Some sort of privacy issue. So, your help would be much appreciated and Thank you!
Contact our Association President Steve Lindsey at President@LACoFDRetirees.org
Or, contact any of the board members.
We would love to have you be a part of our team.
You can get one of these amazing coins at many breakfast / lunch gatherings listed on the Calendar page.
