We also provide education and advocacy through mailings, PSAs, legal filings, original articles, books, and our podcast.
The NPA defends law enforcement agencies, officers, their supporters and the public using litigation, communications, activism, and advocacy. In addition to filing our own lawsuits and FOIA requests, the NPA reviews lawsuits with the potential to create negative precedents in public safety, officer safety and constitutional rights. In those cases the NPA enters as a friend of the court to provide legal support for all who could be harmed by an adverse outcome.
We provide tools to local law enforcement such as legal backing to preserve the methods officers need to do their job, public education on police techniques to generate community support for law enforcement, and morale boosting programs such as the NPA Thank A Cop billboard program and Thank You cards.
We offer grants to law enforcement reserve divisions, explorers, cadets, chaplains, and other programs established to help citizens help police departments accomplish their goals. We also consider grants to departments for equipment and training. Maximum grant allocation is $1000 per year.
We challenge laws that infringe on the 2nd Amendment and conflate lawful gun owners with criminals so that law enforcement officers aren’t forced to choose between keeping their job and violating their oath to uphold the constitution.
The NPA works to improve public safety and officer safety through legislative and policy advocacy. We review bills introduced federally and locally, and engage in outreach, endorsements, and public testimony as needed.
