In the early 1970's two Latino peace officers had a vision
of a Latino law enforcement association, working cooperatively
with law enforcement agencies and the community to recruit,
select and retain Latinos into the criminal justice system.
John Parraz, from the Sacramento Sheriff's Department and
Vincente Calderon, from the California Highway Patrol, using
their personal time and money, organized and eventually founded
what is now known as the National Latino Peace Officers Association.
Today, N.L.P.O.A. has chapters from coast to coast.
REGULAR MEMBERSHIP is available to all
peace officers actively employed in or retired from any professional
position in the criminal justice system and who supports the
objectives of N. L.P.O.A.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP is available to all,
non-sworn, persons who identify with and support the objectives
of N.L.P.O.A.
