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 at their semi-annual conferences.   The Spring Conference is held in Grand Junction, and the location of the fall conference is rotated throughout Western Colorado. 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, as well as surrounding states.

The WCPOA Board is proud to present our Fall 2010 Conference on September 29, 30, and October 1.  The conference will be held at West Star Aviation, 796 Heritage Way, Grand Junction.

Chris Gunter, Federal Air Marshal Service, is presenting an all day session on Thursday, September 30th on Tactics for Flying Armed.  The day includes live fire simunition in mock airplanes. (Please review the Firearms Policy.)  Scott Tipton will be the keynote speaker at our banquet on Thursday night.  Join us on Friday for a great presentation on Medical Marijuana by Colorado DOR Directors, Matt Cook and Dan Hartman.  The conference wraps up with an open discussion session hosted by Chief Deputy DA Dan Rubinstein, 21st Juducial District.

WCPOA is dedicated to providing great training at minimal costs.  If you have suggestions for future conferences, please contact one of our board members. 

Sincerely,
