Шаблон:Infobox union The California Peace Officers' Association (abbreviated CPOA) is a non-profit professional association dedicated to the training and leadership development of law enforcement officers of California. The organization, established in 1921, has a membership more than 23,000 officers across municipal, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies in California.[1] As of 2021-2022, CPOA is led by President Ty Henshaw, Chief of the Irwindale Police Department.[2]

Political positions

In 2014, CPOA opposed Proposition 47, which reduced punishments for nonviolent crimes in a bid to reduce overcrowding in state prison and fund recidivism programs.[3]

In 2017, CPOA opposed a campaign led by California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom to legalize marijuana in the state.[4]

CPOA opposed California Senate Bill 54 (2017), which prevents state and local law enforcement agencies from using their resources on behalf of federal immigration enforcement agencies.[5]

In March 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions spoke to the CPOA in opposition to California's sanctuary city laws, where he announced a federal lawsuit against the state's immigration laws.[6][7]

In October 2019, Newsom signed a bill, AB 1215, which bans law enforcement from using facial recognition technology on body cameras.[8] CPOA has opposed the bill, saying "threatens the future of effective policing and crime reduction".[8][9]
