PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Members of the Pennsylvania
Chiefs of Police Association,
111th President of our esteemed association. It is with great humility and
I am deeply honored and privileged to address you as the newly elected
enthusiasm that I accept this responsibility, knowing full well the trust you
have placed in me.
I would first like to thank past President Royce Engler for his leadership during
his presidency. Royce is a true gentleman and has been a pleasure to work
with. I would also like to thank the Executive Board and Committee Members
for all their hard work and support. And to Executive Director Scott Bohn and
the entire staff at the PCPA, your dedication and commitment has not gone
unnoticed. I thank you all for your outstanding service.
During my inauguration speech at the PCPA conference in Erie, I pledged to
meet with the PA Governor, PCCD, Regional Chief’s Associations, MPOETC
and the FOP to open up the lines of communication and to build partnerships
through collaboration. My goal is to also increase training opportunities and
to continue building our membership. I will also be working diligently on
legislative matters governing police and our purview.
In the days and months ahead, I am committed to working collaboratively
with each of you to address the challenges and opportunities that lie before
us. Together, we will navigate complex issues, embrace innovative solutions,
and champion the well-being of both our officers and the communities we
serve.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you for your
dedication, commitment, and tireless efforts in advancing the mission of law
enforcement in our communities. Your unwavering dedication to upholding
the highest standards of professionalism and integrity is a testament to the
values we hold dear.
I invite each of you to join me in this journey of leadership, service, and
excellence. Your voice, your expertise, and your passion are invaluable assets
as we work together to shape the future of law enforcement in Pennsylvania.
Thank you once again for the privilege of serving as your President. I am so
humbled by the opportunity to lead this distinguished association, and I look
forward to serving alongside each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Mike Vogel
