For more than fifty years, the Association has maintained a strong presence in Tallahassee and regularly testifies on legislative issues of a public safety nature that may favorably or adversely affect the Association, public safety, law enforcement or the welfare of police officers. In fact, FPCA members are frequently called upon by the legislative leaders to provide insight into public safety issues and problems facing the criminal justice system.

Each year, the FPCA through the Florida Police Chiefs Education and Research Foundation, gratefully acknowledges and recognizes members of the Florida Legislature who have worked with us during the legislative sessions in our efforts to enhance the public's safety.

The press releases relating to the recipients of our Legislative Awards, as well a a short synopsis of their activities can be accessed on the left of this page.
