Oregon Peace Officers Association Meeting

In 1968, the Oregon Peace Officers Association (OPOA), a police association, was established. Since then, the Oregon Peace Officers Association (OPOA) has made a commitment to raising the professionalism of Oregon’s law enforcement community through community support, dialogue, education, recognition, and death benefits for deceased officers. All law enforcement-related professionals of any rank are eligible to join the OPOA. With almost 1,500 federal, state, and local law enforcement personnel as members, the Oregon Peace Officers Association is currently one of Oregon’s major law enforcement organizations.

52nd Annual Law Enforcement Conference & Awards

In order to help your local men and women in law enforcement be the best they can be, the Oregon Peace Officers Association has a full training staff that offers the best training possible to law enforcement officers throughout the state of Oregon. This includes an annual law enforcement training conference and a full curriculum of training classes offered all year long.

Thank you for your service

The Oregon Peace Officers Association has been the only organization in the whole state to hold an annual awards ceremony event to recognize law enforcement personnel who have gone above and beyond the call of duty for more than 40 years.

In addition, the Oregon Peace Officers Association has a number of sub-chapters that concentrate on particular areas of law enforcement, such as the Oregon Association of Reserve Peace Officers, the Oregon Background Investigators Association, and the Oregon Association of Property and Evidence Officers.

The Oregon Peace Officers Association also supports numerous law enforcement-related charitable initiatives across the state, including Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS), the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run, The Oregon Fallen Badge Foundation, and others, in addition to offering college scholarships each year to people interested in a career in law enforcement. It also offers additional death benefits to its members.
