At WACOPS, we know a hero when we see one. When you serve as a law enforcement officer, it’s more than a job. It’s a lifestyle, a mission, even a calling. Few people know what you put into it — the hours, the training, the missed moments with family. You welcome innovation and you strive for progress. You’re driven to protect the public and serve with distinction. But all too often you’re misunderstood and misrepresented. We’ll never stop fighting for you. For your safety. Your benefits. Your quality of life. And your ability to be an indispensable part of what makes our communities work.
The Washington Council of Police & Sheriffs (WACOPS) is a 501c (6) non-profit organization and Washington's largest and most influential organization representing rank-and-file law enforcement professionals since 1962. Representing over 6,000 peace officers across Washington State, WACOPS is an active stakeholder in public safety policy.
Contact us to learn how your guild or association can get involved. WACOPS will never trade on your profession or your rights. Thank you for the sacrifices you make for communities across the state and we hope to be granted the opportunity to educate on how WACOPS can best serve you and your members.
