Our mppoa annual convention was held in june at arrowwood resort in alexandria, mn. New board members were elected.we monitored legislation at the state and national level that affects police officers and their families. We informed our members on important relevant issues and encouraged them to communicate with their elected representatives. We published four issues of the Minnesota police journal that informed our members on current professional topics and issues. We continued to sponsor quarterly president's meetings to communicate more effectively with members unions.
