Founded in 1969, CAHP Credit Union originally offered membership solely for employees and members of the California Association of Highway Patrolmen (the Association). In the 1990s, the Credit Union expanded eligibility to include other members of California’s law enforcement community, namely through the Peace Officers Research Association of California – PORAC. Our mission has remained constant throughout the years. We are devoted to helping officers like you – and your families – keep more of your money, maintain a high credit score and stay on the road to financial freedom. And we are as deeply committed to serving you as you are committed to protecting and serving the public. When CAHPCU first opened in 1969, we had five members.
