It wouldn't be the California Peace Officers' Association (CPOA) annual CopsWest event without fun thrown in. This year CPOA is offering many ways to network and make meaningful connections with fellow public safety representatives in Sacramento, CA, this September.

This year's event offers the annual awards luncheon where the industry acknowledges the achievements of law enforcement colleagues as they are honored for their outstanding service.

The Cop Chef 11th annual charity BBQ is once again the can't miss event at CopsWest. Slow and low rules the day in this signature event as teams showcase their grilling skills for celebrity judges and a crowd of 1,000+ hungry law enforcement members and guests.

The largest draw will be the free expo featuring cool gadgets, great gear, and a wide variety of products for both the off-duty and on-duty life of law enforcement professionals. It will include everything from fitness demonstrations to drone piloting demos and reality-based simulators.

CopsWest will be honoring those who could not be here with us in the All Fallen Officers Memorial Workout, an opportunity to honor peace officers who have fallen in the line of duty. Join in for a quick and powerful workout around the Capitol Park. No need to register; just show up.
