Welcome
to NAPO
The
National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) is a coalition
of police unions and associations from across the United States
that serves to advance the interests of America's law enforcement
officers through legislative and legal advocacy, political
action and education.
Founded
in 1978, NAPO is now the strongest unified voice supporting
law enforcement officers in the United States. NAPO represents
more than 2,000 police units and associations, 241,000 sworn
law enforcement officers, 11,000 retired officers and more
than 100,000 citizens who share a common dedication to fair
and effective crime control and law enforcement.
Twenty Six TOP COPS were honored at the White House on May
14, 2010.
The officers met with President Barack Obama in the Oval
Office before being recognized by the President and Attorney
General Eric Holder at a ceremony in the Rose Garden. Attendees
of the ceremony included friends and family of the TOP COPS
Winners, as well as dignitaries from Congress and NAPO Executive

On
February 11, 2009, NAPO leadership was in Washington, D.C. for separate meetings with Attorney
General Eric Holder and Vice President Joe Biden.In the morning of the 11th, NAPO
President Tom Nee and Executive Director Bill Johnson had
a private meeting with the Attorney General to discuss NAPO’s priorities and the direction the association would like
to see the Justice Department go on those issues.
Later
that afternoon, NAPO’s elected officers met with Vice President
Biden in his office for an informal discussion of the law
enforcement priorities of the Obama/Biden administration.Although several other law enforcement organizations
were represented, the Vice President singled out NAPO for its exceptional work in promoting and working for the
law enforcement community’s biggest issues.Vice President Biden also singled out Tom Nee as his
close friend and partner over the years in fighting for the
needs of law enforcement.“Although I love all of you guys, if I had to
pick one guy to be in a foxhole with, it would be Tommy Nee
and NAPO,” said the Vice President.This continues the special recognition of NAPO as “the leader of America’s national law enforcement organizations”
as stated by President Obama.
NAPO looks forward to continuing and strengthening
our relationships with the Attorney General Holder and Vice
President Biden as we work closely with the new administration
over the coming years.View
photos of the meetings.
