General Info

Since the Wisconsin Professional Police Association (WPPA) began serving the needs of law enforcement personnel statewide in 1932, it has developed expertise in employment relations, collective bargaining, legislative lobbying, legal assistance for law enforcement personnel, and providing fraternal opportunities for its members. Currently serving almost 11, 000 active and retired members from over 380 locals, WPPA is a non-profit service organization. WPPA stays in touch with the needs of its members by having its board of directors comprised of individuals elected from the membership. WPPA then meets the needs of its membership by using the experience of many individuals-business agents, attorneys, and others whose proven expertise best serves WPPA and its members. With over 75 years of service to law enforcement personnel, the WPPA is recognized as the leading law enforcement association in the state. The WPPA President currently serves on the executive board of the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO). Since law enforcement work is a high stress occupation, WPPA also serves the important function of providing social opportunities for members. General membership activities such as golf, bowling, and shooting tournaments give members a chance to relax, enjoy and learn from their colleagues. Members can also engage in WPPA-sponsored benevolent activities throughout the year, in addition to attending the annual WPPA convention.
