Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association

MEDIA STATEMENT: “Irresponsible, reckless rhetoric from political leaders attacking law enforcement has real & dangerous consequences for officers on the street. Full statement in picture.

MEDIA RELEASE: Minnesota’s two largest law enforcement organizations condemn “outrageously low bail” after violent assault on Anoka County Deputy. “This decision puts the public and peace officers at risk,” said MPPOA Interim Executive Director David Titus.

MEDIA STATEMENT: Hennepin County criminals just got another free pass from Mary Moriarty.

MEDIA STATEMENT on today’s Minneapolis carjacker who killed two innocent people:

Proud to join with @MNPoliceAssn to hold Mary Moriarty accountable. Mary Moriarty’s conduct in this case was reprehensible. She was intent upon prosecuting a cop no matter the facts and took serious ethical shortcuts to try to get a conviction. alphanews.org/exclusive-prof…

Hiking with my Olivia in Oregon, complete with a 12.5-mile shout-out to ⁦@MNPoliceAssn⁩. (I'm very tired now, she's ready for more.)

MPPOA was proud to push for this program at the MN Legislature to award scholarships to children of police officers studying law enforcement. (Thank you, St. Paul Police Federation President Mark Ross, for spearheading this and doing the media interview!) cbsnews.com/minnesota/news…

50 convictions, not one Minnesota state employee fired. And the feds are still the only ones detecting & prosecuting Minnesota STATE fraud.

MEDIA STATEMENT: The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association (MPPOA) and St. Paul Police Federation recognize the remarkable bravery and selfless actions of the Saint Paul police officers during today’s tragic grocery store shooting, where they faced multiple attacks from the armed suspect. Their quick response and courage under fire protected countless lives and prevented further injuries.

MEDIA STATEMENT on today's violence towards legislators and impersonation of officer:

"To our officers: you should never face this hostility while doing your job protecting our communities. To trafficking victims: we support bringing these criminals to justice.”

Can't wait for the start of the Collin/Madel "Time for Some Cold, Hard Truth" tour! @lizcollin

MPPOA announces another legal victory for law enforcement - press release here:

We’re heartbroken by the passing of retired @PlymouthMNPD Police Chief and MCPF board member Mike Goldstein. A true mentor and servant leader, his impact will be felt for years. 💙 fox9.com/news/former-pl…

Best part of keynoting the Blue Line Ball? Two things: (1) honoring law enforcement and their stellar families; and (2) compelling @lizcollin to stand up and receive roaring applause (because she hates the attention).

@JohnNagel46A 100% correct!

We need to stop conceding important offices to unqualified people that put their own idealogical agendas ahead of common sense progress for all people - government isn’t functioning well at any level and that has consequences for real people - it’s up to voters, start paying more attention, and start voting, or the damage will become irreparable
