CPCA is celebrating its 60 year anniversary this year, and we will be honoring this milestone throughout the conference with this year’s theme: Together in Service.

Together in Service speaks to the strength of California’s police chiefs working in unity to serve their communities, support one another, and advance the policing profession. This year marks six decades of progress, and our theme at ATS reflects CPCA’s ongoing commitment to shaping policy, mentoring future leaders, and upholding the highest standards in public safety.

  • Access to CPCA exclusive companies at the Expo Hall
