Our   Story

The Hispanic Police Officers' Association (HPOA) was founded in 1986 by retired Cleveland
Police K-9 Officer Antonio Colón. With Colón's persistent work and dedication throughout
the years, the HPOA was able to evolve into an organization of professionals who share a
desire to build effective communication and interaction among public safety
personnel, their families, and the surrounding community.

our  mission  statement

our  vision

The Hispanic Police Officers' Association is an organization of police officers and public safety employees committed to the ideas of education, charity, and volunteerism through allegiance to our community and our family.
Our goal is to develop and strengthen the relationship between law enforcement officers and the Hispanic community. We believe that we can greatly impact our community by keeping citizens informed of employment opportunities within the Public Safety sector and offering general information on safety programs within our neighborhoods.
