Dear AHPA members,
Between recent line of duty deaths and critical incidents, public safety professionals never seem to catch a break. It has been a sobering reminder that we do not get to choose when bad things can happen. Disaster will happen again and we have to be vigilant.

AHPA works year round to assist our members. Summer is time we recalibrate and plan for the upcoming year. We are looking forward to finalizing our legislative agenda for the next session. Count on employee pay raises as our number one legislative agenda item. Please contact your district representative with your legislative ideas. Additionally, any member is welcome to attend our monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of every month. For location and time, please check our website and RSVP with Colleen Girard (ahpa@ahpa.com).
AHPA is a strong because of our members. Your dedication to our profession and the Association is appreciated.
