The International Union of Police Associations is the only union chartered exclusively for law enforcement and law enforcement support personnel. While I.U.P.A.\u2019s officers, active and retired law enforcement officers, fight to improve the lives of their brothers and sisters in law enforcement, I.U.P.A. works to improve legislation that protects and affects public safety officers, as well as representing the needs of law enforcement officers and support personnel, whether that be for better equipment, more staff or a fair wage.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our Mission<\/h2><\/div>

For over 40 years, we have fought tirelessly to ensure that law enforcement officers maintain their rights and receive benefits that are deserving of the job. We will continue to improve the legislation that protects and affects public safety officers, as well as represent the needs of law enforcement officers and support personnel, whether that is for better equipment, more staff, or a fair wage. Today, we are stronger than ever and will continue to remain steadfastly dedicated to our mission: to improve the lives of public safety officers.<\/p>\n<\/div>
