Latin American Police Association - LAPA
The Latin American Police Association was first organized in the fall of 1961 with a total membership of 21 members. LAPA has the distinction of being the first ethnic law enforcement group within the city of Chicago and Cook County, Illinois.
LAPA is a fraternal organization, which was created to assist Hispanics in the field of law enforcement. The membership of LAPA is comprised of any person of Hispanic descent, in whole or in part, who is a sworn member in good standing of any law enforcement agency in the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area.
The purpose of the Latin American Police Association is to develop, promote and encourage a greater degree of understanding and cooperation between the Hispanic community and the various law enforcement agencies represented by our membership. LAPA promotes and encourages a higher degree of professionalism and advancement among Hispanic law enforcement officers. Through education and networking, LAPA has evolved into an issue oriented organization.
