National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO)

The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) is a U.S. national police labor organization founded in 1978 that represents roughly 250,000 sworn officers and 1,000+ member organizations. NAPO organizes multiple law-enforcement-focused events including an annual convention (47th in 2025; 48th in July 2026), a Pension & Benefits Seminar, TOP COPS Awards Dinner, and Lobby Day/Legislative events. Its annual convention and events target law enforcement leaders and officers and cover policy, legislative priorities, pensions/benefits, and recognition of officers—making NAPO highly relevant to the user intent for law enforcement conferences (police chiefs/sheriffs, public safety, corrections, first responders).
