PAC Contributions
With the challenges facing law enforcement today, we need your help. We need your help to ensure we can maintain public safety. There are many politicians that are actively calling for “Defunding the Police” as violent crime and unrest are increasing in our communities. They want to eliminate laws that keep you safe and take away tools and equipment that allow officers to do their jobs safely. They do not want to hold criminals accountable, while at the same time taking away police officers due process rights.
We must stand in opposition to unreasonable and failed policy ideas that will make it harder for law enforcement to keep you and your family safe. Our community and way of life depend on the rule of law and fair justice for ALL.
Please contribute to the APA PAC and join our efforts.

Candidate Endorsements
One of the primary objectives and purpose of the Arizona Police Association is to protect the interest of Arizona Law Enforcement, Corrections, Detention, and Probation Officers at the State, Local, and National level. One way we do this is by supporting and endorsing candidates that we feel will help us meet those goals. If you are a candidate or represent a campaign that you feel has issues in common or certain synergies with the APA and our stated goals then we’d like to hear from you.
We’ve created candidate questionnaires to help us understand your platform with regards to the law enforcement community and the issues we face. There are two versions of the questionnaire for federal and state & local candidates. The first step in the process is to fill out the form below and request a questionnaire from us. Once we receive your request, we will evaluate it for interest and send an email to you with a link to fill out the questionnaire online. When you complete it, you will receive a confirmation email thanking you for your input. Our association will review it and if approved, we’ll reach out to you and request an in person interview with our board of directors to evaluate your ideas and positions on issues important to our members. Please be aware that this interview will be video recorded for our records.
Please fill out this questionnaire request to begin the process…
