The National Police Association (NPA) is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization, IRS NTEE classification code B01, Alliance/Advocacy Organizations, within the Educational Organizations category, EIN 82-0647764, founded to educate supporters of law enforcement in how to help police departments accomplish their goals. The National Police Association is supported solely through contributions of individuals and organizations. Donations are tax deductible.
The NPA defends law enforcement agencies, officers, their supporters, and the public using litigation, communications, activism, and advocacy. In addition to filing our own lawsuits and FOIA requests, the NPA reviews lawsuits with the potential to create negative precedents in public safety, officer safety and constitutional rights. In those cases the NPA enters as a friend of the court to provide legal support for all who could be harmed by an adverse outcome.
The National Police Association's TV program is on Sundays at 10:00 AM EST, available in 70 million homes on PlutoTV CH 244, available in 14 million homes on DirectTV CH 347, and at TheFirstTV.com online.
