Who We Are

In 1972, thirty officers from Northern California law enforcement agencies met in Concord, California. During the meeting the advantages of sharing strategies and concepts within the crime prevention field were discussed. This initial meeting resulted in the creation of the Northern California Crime Prevention Officers Association. Also during 1972, the first national crime prevention institute was established at the University of Louisville.

Meet Our Team

CCPOA operates under the leadership of the six member state board of directors, elected by the membership. The state is organized into two chapters North and South and each chapter is divided into five regions. Regional Directors oversee the operations of the regions while to chapter officers direct the chapter functions and also serve on the State Board of Directors.
