The Shomrim Society of Southern California was formed in June 1982 as the Los Angeles County Shomrim Association. The organization grew to include members of the law enforcement, public safety, and administration of justice community in Southern California. The Society is a fraternal and social organization formed to promote the spirit of friendship of its members and their families, to encourage good fellowship among members, and to advance the welfare of its members.

Our Society is comprised of Jewish men and women who support the welfare of the general community and strive to improve the public image of the members of all law enforcement, public safety and administration of justice agencies everywhere. The Shomrim Society of Southern California is an affiliate member organization of the National Conference of Shomrim Societies. The first Shomrim Society was established in the New York City Police Department in 1924 . The National Conference of Shomrim Societies was formed in 1958.

Back in 1958 the motto of our organization "So that Police, Fire and Public Safety Officer of the Jewish Faith may join together for the welfare of all" was adopted.

Today, our motto still rings true.
