In 1958, a group of law enforcement officers met and formed the Western Colorado Peace Officer 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 is also open to law enforcement personnel from surrounding states.

WCPOA is dedicated to providing great training at minimal costs. Already this year we have provided training in Social Media, and as well as hosting Dr. Alexis Artwohl, an internationally recognized behavioral science consultant to law enforcement.  The Board is currently working on future training.  If you have training requests or ideas, please contact a Board member.
