Today the National Latino Peace Officers Association (NLPOA) is considered the largest and fastest-growing Latino law enforcement organization in the country. The NLPOA continues to grow and seeks supporters, who wish to make the law enforcement community a balanced and responsible community entity and looks to contribute to policy development in the Criminal Justice System.

We are the Greater Houston Chapter of the National Latino Peace Officers Association (NLPOA). The National Latino Peace Officers Association is the largest Latino law enforcement association in the United States.  It is open to all, regardless of race or ethnic background. The objectives of the National Latino Peace Officers Association are to create a professional association that provides its members career training and  promote education and career advancement, mentoring and a strong commitment to community service.

The mission of the association is to eliminate prejudice and discrimination in the Criminal Justice System (particularly in law enforcement). To create a fraternal/professional association that provides support, advocacy, personal and professional development to its members. To prevent and reduce juvenile delinquency; and lessen neighborhood tension in the Latino communities, through awareness and role modeling, provide bi-lingual assistance to the public, and bridge the gap between the Latino community and the police.

As a member of the NLPOA, you’ll have access to a network of officers from local and national agencies. The professional structure of the NLPOA also lends a great deal of credibility to our goals and objectives. As a legitimate national law enforcement association, we help consult and influence law enforcement policies to national and local elected officials.
