The Public Safety Employees Association, Local 803 is a not-for-profit corporation that has effectively represented Alaska law enforcement personnel in a variety of labor and employment matters at the State and municipal levels since 1978. PSEA also asserts itself as a leader in issues having a direct impact on Alaska public safety services. We are proudly affiliated with the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), an international union that represents 1.6 million public employees in the United States.
PSEA Local 803 formulates corporation by-laws, and policies through a Corporation Board of Directors. Advising the corporate board are separate Chapter Boards representing Airport Police & Fire Officers, Municipal Public Safety, and State Law Enforcement Officers. Each chapter has representatives on the Corporation Board.
