DEAR MEMBERS,
The PCPA understands the unique challenges our law enforcement
leaders face and the myriad of issues that your agency and municipality
face and the current climate in law enforcement. We want our employees,
residents, businesses, and elected officials to have confidence in our
agencies and our plans to address the issues in our communities. The Association
is here to support and assist you in your efforts.
We are committed to promoting excellence in service and expertise in
law enforcement and public safety services. We advocate for you, our law
enforcement leaders. We are committed to providing our membership with
innovative programs, information, and resources. As we expand our footprint, our
vision is to be the best resource for professional Law Enforcement leadership in
the Commonwealth and the respected voice for Pennsylvania’s law enforcement
leaders and community.
We have opened registration for our 2024 Educational and Training conference at
the Bayfront in Erie, PA. We are excited about the quality of trainers, exhibitors,
and entertainment for this year’s conference. We are finalizing our commitments.
Watch for the announcements!
As we begin to navigate the 2024 year the Association is aware that officer
recruitment and retention continues to impact all areas of our Commonwealth.
We are exploring strategies, information, and legislative support to support
our agencies and our operational environments. We are committed to bringing
our law enforcement leaders programming that aids and supports the law
enforcement function, officer, and culture.
The Association remains active in monitoring and addressing proposed changes
to existing laws and statutes. There is a great deal of legislation proposed. We
have summarized the legislation that would impact law enforcement on our
website. We have shared our opinions and remain vocal and steadfast on issues
such as the attempted evisceration of qualified immunity, the legalization of
marijuana, radar as a law enforcement tool and law enforcement standards.
Our membership continues to grow. The PCPA believes in the valuable benefits
that come from a strong association, education, training, and shared experiences.
We have many issues that challenge us in the new year and beyond and ask for
your continued support and leadership as we work together in the future.
The staff and I thank you for your honorable service and the work you do every
day.
Sincerely,
Scott L. Bohn
