About Us

In 1958, a group of law enforcement officers met and formed the Western Colorado Peace Officers Association.  Since that time, WCPOA has provided training to thousands of officers and support staff.  WCPOA conferences provide training along with networking opportunities.

Membership is open to full-time peace officers, special agents of railroad companies, district attorneys, dispatchers, federal agents, fire department investigators, and support staff of the above listed agencies.  We welcome membership from all over Colorado, and conference attendance and membership is also open to law enforcement personnel from surrounding states.
