About F.L.E.C.A. F.L.E.C.A was started due to one persons idea that every Law Enforcement Officer, Correctional Officer and Private Security Officer had certain rights that needed to be protected in the course of performing their job duties. This person was Darren Freeman. Mr. Freeman saw a need that was not being filled, the need for an organization that will assist you under any situation you might find yourself in. It is amazing that when one of us gets into trouble everyone around you will run for cover. Do you think your agency has your best interests in mind while they are investigating you? We can say NEVER. An agency and its administrators first priority is to protect the agency. We can say that a lot of people in our fields have no idea what their rights are during a Criminal and or Administrative Investigation. Sometimes we hope that if we cooperate that it will go away, well we can tell you something, that it wont. If you can afford a high priced attorney and expert witnesses you need not read any further, but if you cannot than F.L.E.C.A . Might just be for you. We provide consulting and expert witnesses to all our members. We are there when most other organizations who promise this service do not. We are here to protect your rights and careers.
Why is this symbol all over our website and what does it mean?
This symbol is the inspiration for F.L.E.C.A. It is commonly known as the police and SWAT patch of survival. It symbolizes exactly what we try to teach those that think they don't need F.L.E.C.A. The meaning behind each of the symbols is as follows:
The #1 = You and you alone.
The asterisk = "Ass-To-Risk"
The blue Line: Universal Law Enforcement symbol that shows the thin blue line between cops and criminals.
The Black Background = The chaos in the world around us.
This symbol just visually puts into perspective that when you are involved in an investigation, you are standing in the chaos all alone. Unless ... You have F.L.E.C.A. on your side.
