Together in Service
The CPCA Annual Training Symposium (ATS) is the must-attend event for law enforcement professionals across California. Bringing together police chiefs and upper-level command staff, ATS is a unique forum for networking, learning, and exploring cutting-edge solutions that will shape the future of public safety.
This year’s symposium marks a significant milestone as we celebrate CPCA’s 60th anniversary — six decades of leadership, collaboration, and service to California’s communities. The event features a dynamic mix of workshops and inspiring general session keynotes, offering members high-quality continuing education and meaningful opportunities to connect with peers from across the state.
Guided by this year’s theme, Together in Service, the symposium highlights the collective strength of California’s police chiefs working side by side to serve their communities, support one another, and advance the policing profession for generations to come. Our theme reflects CPCA’s ongoing commitment to shaping policy, mentoring future leaders, and upholding the highest standards in public safety.
