The International Union of Police Associations (IUPA) is a labor union representing law enforcement officers across the United States. It advocates for the interests of rank-and-file police officers, correctional officers, and other public safety professionals, focusing on workplace protections, compensation, benefits, and public safety policy.
IUPA typically supports legislation related to collective bargaining rights for law enforcement officers, enhanced public safety funding, qualified immunity protections, pension and retirement benefits, workplace safety standards, and crime enforcement policies. It often advocates for increased resources for law enforcement agencies and legal protections for officers.
The organization is primarily funded through membership dues from affiliated law enforcement unions and members.
