WACOPS
STANDING AND AD-HOC
COMMITTEES
The Washington State Council of Police & Sheriffs has established several committees to help us achieve our strategic goals and increase communication with our membership . All committees report to the WACOPS Executive Board on a monthly basis and to the general membership three times a year. Committee members are asked to contact delegates regularly to update them on WACOPS issues and seek input on their committee agendas and assignments.
Committee membership is open to all members of WACOPS. The WACOPS president assigns committee chairman and all members of the committees. If you are interested in serving on one of the committees, please feel free to contact WACOPS President David Hayes at
