WPPA provides two service models for those public safety employees groups that lack binding arbitration:

A. Extended Service Retainer provides:

1. Bargaining Assistance: Although we can’t sit at the bargaining table, WPPA will assist in gathering of comparable data and consult on negotiation strategies for those groups that retain collective bargaining rights.
2. Discipline Representation: WPPA will assist in matters relating to the potential discipline of any member that could impact the member’s employment status and/or compensation.
3. Officer-Involved Critical Incidents: WPPA will assist any member that constitutes an “Involved Officer” during investigations into any Officer-Involved Critical Incident. WPPA representation continues until such time as a District Attorney—or his/her designee—determines whether there is basis to prosecute such “Involved Officer.”

B. Discipline-Only Retainer provides:

1. Discipline Representation: WPPA will assist in matters relating to the potential discipline of any member that could impact the member’s employment status and/or compensation.
2. Officer-Involved Critical Incidents: WPPA will assist any member that constitutes an “Involved Officer” during investigations into any Officer-Involved Critical Incident. WPPA representation continues until such time as a District Attorney—or his/her designee—determines whether there is basis to prosecute such “Involved Officer.”
