Advocacy
The California Police Chiefs Association advocates to improve the law enforcement profession, promote public safety, and to bring forward the concerns of our 332 Municipal Police Departments in California. Working with our Board of Directors and Legislative Committee, CPCA takes a position on bills impacting public safety and law enforcement. Please see below for more information on our legislative platform and priorities, bill positions, press releases, and legal advocacy efforts.
