Wisconsin Professional Police Assn Political Action Committee

Extended legal protection plan - the association's in-house attorneys represent members in a wide variety of areas that are connected to their employment and the collective bargaining agreements that govern that vital service. Association attorneys also represent members in critical incidents, such as when officers are involved in shootings, squad accidents, or in-custody deaths.

Legislative - wppa employs lobbyists to advocate for law enforcement officers and the law enforcement community at large on a wide variety of criminal justice, labor and professional policy matters before the state legislature. Along with passing the law enforcement officers bill of rights, which established "just cause" as the standard of review for disciplinary actions against officers by employers, some of our more recent accomplishments include new laws that require employers to pay the legal fees of officers who are exonerated in criminal proceedings arising from on-duty conduct, establish tougher penalties for individuals that injure officers while trying to escape, and require independent and transparent investigations into officer involved deaths by outside agencies.

Other programs - other programs consist of costs incurred for the annual convention, wisconsin police journal, and the wisconsin law enforcement museum of valor.
