As we celebrate our 73rd year of existence, we reflect on our growth and success, and

on those who have significantly contributed to that success. We specifically

acknowledge our members, and volunteers for their enthusiasm and support of the

Credit Union. We also acknowledge management and staff for their commitment to

excellence. It is this excellence that fuels our vision for the future.

2011 was a banner year for the Rocky Mountain Law Enforcement Federal Credit

Union. We continued the momentum of the strides made in 2010 despite the economic

challenges that continue to strain our national and local economies. Performance

ratios significantly improved during 2011 to historic highs. We surpassed the strategic

goals set by the Board of Directors while controlling expenses, increasing earnings and

increasing member capital.

As a credit union, we are a financial cooperative – here to serve our members. We strive

to provide excellent service to our members. We continue to build new relationships

that will help us compete and grow in the competitive financial marketplace.

The strides we made in 2011 will help us as we continue to grow and expand services

to our members. Rocky Mountain Law Enforcement Federal Credit Union is well

positioned to meet future economic challenges. Our commitment to our members will

remain a primary focus as we strive to provide quality products and services through

sound business practices.

Thank you to all of our volunteers for the time they give to ensure we are successful. It is

a big commitment with a lot of responsibility. Thank you to management and staff for

their continued hard work and dedication. We continue to build our financial strength

so we can serve you, our members into the future. Thank you for your membership and

continued support of Rocky Mountain Law Enforcement Federal Credit Union.

The Supervisory Committee consists of five members

who are appointed by the Board of Directors in

accordance with the By-laws of the credit union.

The Committee is responsible to oversee internal

audit controls and to ensure the safety and security

of member deposits.

The committee utilizes the CPA firm of Holben, Hay,

Lake, and Balzer to conduct quarterly reviews and

audits to validate the internal controls present and to

ensure the credit union complies with established

regulations and policies. The committee also ensures

an annual CPA audit is conducted that includes a

verification of member accounts.

The Federal examiners of the National Credit

Union Administration conducted a comprehensive

examination and we are pleased to report that the

Rocky Mountain Law Enforcement Federal Credit

Union again received a top rating.

We extend our commendation to the Board of

Directors, management and staff for their

continued commitment to excellence.

The Rocky Mountain Law Enforcement Federal Credit Union

was chartered in 1938 by officers of the Denver Police

Department. The Credit Union now serves Federal, State

and local law enforcement officers in a 16 county approved

area as well as family members.

The Credit Union processes financial transactions in a

cost-effective manner with the least amount of expense to

each individual member. Economies of scale have helped to

maintain operating costs. Services provided to members

include a wide range of savings products, loan products

and convenience services.

2011 was an outstanding year for RMLEFCU. It was a year of

growth and prosperity, and we have positioned ourselves well

to be able to withstand the effects of a struggling economy.

We surpassed the $150 million mark in assets. Capitalization,

a primary factor in our operating plan, grew 11.70% to

15.10%. Our goal is to maintain a capital to asset ratio of

over 10%. Return on average assets, a primary measurement

of profitability, increased significantly during 2011. We

exceeded our Return on Asset goal with an ROA of 1.48%.

Loans continued to be flat in 2011 with minimal growth

ending with a portfolio of $96,064,584. Member deposits

grew by over $2.5 million ending the year at $126,696,810.

Our loan to share ratio ended the year at 75.82%

I encourage you to review comparative financial

statements, which are included in the Annual Report.

You will find that 2011 was an outstanding year.

Mike Thode, Secretary/Treasurer

SU RpRiSe!Look who’s on your account!Think about the changes in your life in recent years. And think

about all your accounts with RMLEFCU and other institutions. Did

you know you may have unexpected beneficiaries from long ago that

could receive your account balance if something happened to you?

Ownership of an account is assigned to (1) joint owners;

(2) beneficiaries; and (3) court appointed representatives.

We cannot accept wills as your final directions.

If there is any doubt, check with us to make

sure the right people will benefit!
