The MPA was established in the 20^th century with a simple mission in mind: represent law enforcement officers who serve the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Since our founding, we have inducted thousands of police officers and their supporters into our ranks, and successfully achieved our goals to create an entity that police can always turn to when they are in need. The MPA strongly represents the officers who are on the front lines doing the hard work day in and day out. We strive to make our voice heard on Beacon Hill and protect our collective bargaining rights, hard earned benefits, retirement and other important legislative issues that affect our profession. The MPA is the oldest and strongly voice on Beacon Hill lead by our Executive Director.
