Nlpoa Sonoma County Chapter

The Sonoma Chapter started in 1991, and has made numerous presentations to school groups throughout the county denouncing gang affiliation and encouraging careers in law enforcement. We gave scholarships to law enforcement students, sponsored community youth sports, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Our Chapter was honored by the California Legislature Assembly in 1993, with Resolution #586, for our contributions to the community. In 1997, we hosted a National Conference & Training Seminar. In 1998 we established a perpetual scholarship in the name of “Deputy Frank Trejo” at Santa Rosa Junior College for all law enforcement students. We mentor through the Puente Project at SRJC and other mentoring programs. We are associated with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Sonoma County, the Latino Service Providers, Safe Kids of Sonoma County, and the Mayor's Gang Task Force of Santa Rosa.
