Chief Tom DiMaria President

Our Association was formed in 1914 as a social organization and has evolved into a professional network of law enforcement managers, providing a vehicle through which members can come together, examine issues, and address the needs of their colleagues.

The Association promotes the professional and personal development of its members through innovative services, training, peer counseling and comradeship. The Association makes a positive impact on the quality of life in the communities which its members serve through pro-active leadership in the following: community partnerships, ethics and integrity, knowledge and information dissemination, promoting legislation which advances the mission of the Association, media relations, professional standards, vision, and innovative change.

The Association is a non-profit (501 c(6)) association, which is how it was founded back in 1914.  That function has expanded to become a professional and valuable networking and communications tool as well as a resource of educational opportunities. The Association provides a wide variety of services to its membership such as education and training programs, testing and consulting service, legislation monitoring and mentoring assistance to name a few. We are dedicated to the professionalism of Pennsylvania’s law enforcement and strive to provide the tools needed to excel at police service.
