 On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to welcome you to the Missouri Police Chiefs Association website. It is an honor to serve as the President of the Missouri Police Association and I am excited to continue working with this organization as we move through 2023.  The past few years have brought us many challenges for law enforcement across the nation and in our great State to say the least. But together we have faced those challenges and will continue to do so moving forward.

This Association is proud to serve all members of law enforcement in Missouri with training, information, professional opportunities, subject matter expertise, pro law enforcement legislative efforts, continuing education, command level training, legal defense, scholarships, and charitable activities, as well as promotional testing services. We look forward to the many challenges and opportunities we will face in the future as we serve our members. We are committed to represent you and your interest as we lead the way with professionalism and integrity.

Our membership includes police chiefs, command staff, members the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and representatives of a number of federal agencies, along with DPS, as well as Student Resource Officers and Dare Officers from across the state. The MPCA is governed by an executive board of directors.

Members of the MPCA have access to top-tier training, will be on the front line of state legislative changes, have access a wide variety of instructional resources, as well as up-to-date general orders. All members are also eligible to buy in to our Legal Defense Fund, which is in place to represent participating members should any legal issues arise during your employment.
