FPPA - Fire & Police Pension Association of Colorado
The FPPA was established January 1, 1980, and administers a statewide multiple-employer public employee retirement system providing defined benefit plan coverage (the Statewide Defined Benefit Plan) as well as death and disability coverage (the Statewide Death and Disability Plan) for police officers and firefighters throughout the state of Colorado. The FPPA is not related to, nor in any connection with, the State’s PERA pension program. Note: This plan is mandatory for sworn employees hired June 20, 2018 or later.
