Our Services
- The National Peace Officers Association was founded by retired Officer Joseph Jackson, Ansonia Ct Police Department. once a police officer, ALWAYS a police officer for LIFE.
The job and its duties to serve LAW ENFORCEMENT and the community remains in your heart. after serving 31 years and retired, I felt the need with other retired officers and active Police Officer's of different law enforcement agencies, to continue fighting side by side with law enforcement and community in the best way that we can.
Here we are happy to announce an association that serves as your second backup UNION. Your union, your association to be there to protect your rights and your voices in times of discrimination and in other matters that may come against you.
We have your back and we will stand by you. The goal of the National Peace Officers Association is to promote equality and professionalism in Law Enforcement. The objectives of the association are to create a fraternal/professional Association that provides its members and the community with career training, conferences and workshops to promote education and career advancement, mentoring and a strong commitment to community service.
Citizenship programs, mentor programs, reading programs in our elementary schools, training programs for individuals looking for a career in Law Enforcement and promotional workshops for our Law Enforcement Agencies are just a few of the contributions from our Association.
