The National Police Officers Association of America, founded in 1955, and  The National Police and Security Officers Association of America (NPSOAA), from its original inception, was added in 2003 for the purpose of:

 

--Establishing better understanding and community relations between the law enforcement and security professions, employers, and the community-at-large;

 

--Recognizing and saluting the noteworthy, heroic and commendable efforts of law enforcement officers, corrections and security professionals, on all levels, and citizens for their respective actions to protect, serve and maintain the highest degree of law and order in America and worldwide;

 

--Supporting the efforts of law enforcement and security agencies in promoting both officer and public safety;

 

--Instilling a greater perspective and higher degree of respect throughout our society for the local and multi-jurisdictional law enforcement and security professions; and

 

--Assisting and participating in community law enforcement and security related programs seeking to foster strong and positive community relations and interest in crime prevention, public safety, and law and order.

 

The National Police and Security Officers Association of America, (NPSOAA) in cooperation with the NPOAA, is managed by an elected all-volunteer Board of Directors with an volunteer Executive Director and a volunteer office staff providing the highest caliber of professional member and agency services.
