The APOA Welcomes a New President
Letter from President Stephanie Lopez
Memorial Day has passed and I am sure that everyone was effected in someway. To those who have lost someone, who have served and or continue to serve in the Armed Forces I would like to Salute and Thank You. I would also like to acknowledge the APOA members that are Veterans or who are currently serving their country, Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I want to take this time to remember every Officer who puts their lives on the line to protect and serve the community, as well as officers who have sacrificed their lives and lost to us by unfortunate unforeseen circumstances. I would like to take the time to thank everyone who came out to vote; we had 306 officers who participated, for those that supported thank you! I hope to make all of you proud.
