We would like to give a warm welcome to the INTERNATIONAL UNION OF POLICE ASSOCIATIONS (IUPA), our newest addition to LEOAFFAIRS.COM! They got their start in 1954 as the National Conference of Police Associations and in 1979 they were the first union to give law enforcement an independent voice within the organized labor movement. Today IUPA's membership is made up from police & sheriff's departments, corrections officers and 8,000 law enforcement officers in Puerto Rico. They represent officers from California to Massachusetts, Minnesota to Florida and across the Mid-West.

If you'd like to find out more about IUPA, you can post in this forum or access their website directly at http://iupa.org/
