Mission
The Criminal Justice Professionals of OSPOA’s mission is to educate, empower & equip our law enforcement community on a local, federal, state and tribal level, by identifying their needs and those of the citizens of Oklahoma.
Welcome to OSPOA!
Oklahoma Association of Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association
Oklahoma's oldest law enforcement organization since 1914
Since 1914, we’ve been training law enforcement of every branch to fight crime. Just imagine being around when the Wild Bunch, Bonnie and Clyde and various other criminals and mobsters were around. We definately have been around longer than any other organization in Oklahoma representing law enforcement!
