Fairfax Coalition of Police
In 1990, a small group of Fairfax County Police Officers were concerned about a host of issues challenging a department and community in the midst of unprecedented change and expansion. The new organization would focus on pay, benefits and working conditions, areas where employees may not have had as much input in the past. The Fairfax Coalition of Police was born.
The new organization had a host of national organizations to affiliate itself with, but chose the International Union of Police Associations (IUPA). With its emphasis on law enforcement related labor issues, IUPA could provide the Coalition with the support it needed and a national network while allowing the Coalition to be an independent organization, governed and directed by its members, Fairfax Coalition of Police remains focused on its mission to support and invest in its members.
The International Union of Police Associations is the only union chartered exclusively for law enforcement and law enforcement support personnel. While I.U.P.A.’s officers, active and retired law enforcement officers, fight to improve the lives of their brothers and sisters in law enforcement, I.U.P.A. works to improve legislation that protects and affects public safety officers, as well as representing the needs of law enforcement officers and support personnel, whether that be for better equipment, more staff or a fair wage.
